Sorokin's 7th Shutout Seals Isles' 1-0 Squeaker Over Jackets

Ilya Sorokin continues his stranglehold on the NHL's shutout lead, staring down Columbus with the kind of crease mastery that has GMs around the league whispering about Vezina locks. Bo Horvat strikes early, and that's all the Islanders need in a game where every save feels like it's buying them another playoff ticket. With Sorokin's franchise-record pace setting the tone, this low-scoring duel underscores why New York remains a tough out in the Metropolitan meat grinder.
