Devils 5, Islanders 4 (O): No calls, Jersey onslaught undermines Sorokin’s Herculean night

The New Jersey Devils defeated the New York Islanders 5-4 in overtime after erasing a two-goal deficit. Jack Hughes scored the game-winning goal on an overtime breakaway following an uncalled play where Luke Hughes defended Matthew Schaefer. Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin stopped 45 of 50 shots in the loss.

The Islanders built a 4-2 lead behind goals from Anthony Duclair, Matthew Schaefer, Victor Eklund, and Simon Holmstrom. New Jersey mounted a relentless third-period comeback, capitalizing on a power play after a Luke Evangelista goal, while the Islanders managed to secure one point.
