Islanders make it five in a row with tough win over Avalanche
Which is not to say the Islanders played poorly. Rather, their grit and resiliency, plus goalie Ilya Sorokin’s brilliant work, were beyond commendable. And they were rewarded for that with a gutsy 5-2 win on Tuesday night at UBS Arena to conclude a 5-2-0 homestand with their season’s high fifth straight victory.
