It's March 27th. Welcome to Dallas Stars News Today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Corey with the story. The New York Islanders picked up a crucial 2-1 win over the Dallas Stars last night.
Bo Horbat scored early in the first period to open things up, and Cal Ritchie tapped in the game-winner just a couple minutes into the third. Goaltender Ilya Sorokin stood tall all night, making key stops to hold off a late Stars push. Matthew Schaefer had a huge night with two assists, pushing his season total to 54 points.
What were the highlights of the Islanders' victory over the Stars?
That ties him with Dennis Potvin for second all-time among Islanders rookie defensemen, just behind Stefan Persson's 56 from 19. 77-78. Fans are buzzing about Schaefer's milestone, especially after the team's rough loss to Chicago earlier this week. The win keeps the Islanders in the second wild-card spot in the East, tied on points with Columbus, but with one more game played. Other results helped, too, as Montreal topped Columbus and Pittsburgh edged Ottawa in a shootout. Sorokin faced plenty of pressure in the final minutes, even denying a three-on-one rush late before Dallas got one back with under three minutes. Left. The Islanders wrap up the week hosting the Florida Panthers on Saturday, March 28th at 1 p.m.
ET. A must-win as the playoff chase heats up.
