I didn't know that many vets were scratched nor haven't played in a while... but I guess it shows.

Devils holding up well defensively...not bad for a team that has been off an NHL ice sheet for quite a while.
Granted, it IS against the struggling Rangers, but still, not a bad way to get back into action for the boys in red n white.

ya Butcher broke his hand this time last year + hasn't played this season. Vatanen was in Finland forever and had to quarantine, but then I think he might've been in our COVID outbreak too. Murray has an "illness", Kulikov COVID, and Carrick is a replacement guy usually but also hasn't played.
Combine that with Hischier being out and you're gonna have a bad time breaking the puck out. or in. or anywhere haha
Hell of a lot better than the Bruins or something

Meanwhile, in Buffalo, Canada.....
Isles are looking strong leading 2-0 with 6 min to go in the 2nd.
Ilya Sorokin seems to be playing his best game in over a month, though again, the competition he is facing tonight should be considered.
Something I am sure Isles fans really want to see: Sorokin being capable against ANY team so they don't have to run Varlamov into the ground and have him as fresh as possible come playoff time.

Meh, he has made it this long, I think anything short of a nuclear explosion won't faze him.

Best sustained offensive zone time of the game for the Sabres..... and the tired Islanders are STILL keeping them to perimeter shots.
Sabres are just so lost on the ice....

Sorokin is a rookie goalie. I’m not really worried about his performance. Just give him time.
Part is good D/sticks by Isles and part is the Sabres aren't attacking and are happy passing it around looking for a perfect opening. The best chance was the low shot from the D and deflection near the crease.. which is sad.
I always assumed Don McLean was singing about football, but okay.

Nice snipe by Pavel Buchnevich.
Puck had eyes, got through some players and just evaded the glove of MacKenzie Blackwood.
2-2 game Devs, Blueshirts heading into the 3rd

The Sabres are terrible and I'm sorry their fans still have to go through this time and time again. I don't know if Chainshot is still on the board but I remember him from years ago when ESPN had hockey boards. We have a Sabre fan on our Islanders board (different site) and I feel for him too.
We had basically fifteen years of misery with a spot of "success" every once in a while (nice first season with Peca and Yashin, one good playoff with Tavares) so it's been nice the past couple of years, even if our style isn't the most entertaining form of hockey...
Ovechkin can't find the net anymore. He has no torch to find the net anymore. Matthews grabbed his torch.

Sorokin is helping to add to the Sabres' collective misery.
Some nice chances by Buffalo, but Sorokin simply says NO!

It's like the Islanders are either trying to help the Sabres out or they forgot there is a third period lol

Sorokin's shut out remains intact, as Olofsson's goal was ruled a no-goal due to offsides.
Olofsson has been one of the bright spots for the Sabres in their campaign so far.
