Devils can’t stop Isles

Anthony Beauvillier and Oliver Wahlstrom scored on shootout attempts and the Islanders won their ninth straight game, beating the Devils, 3-2, on Sunday in Newark.

The Devils thought they had won the game 27 seconds into overtime on a goal by P.K. Subban, but a lengthy review showed Jesper Bratt was offside.

Beauvillier beat Scott Wedgewood on the Islanders’ third attempt to extend the shootout and Wahlstrom extended the Devils’ winless run at home to 0-10-1.

Kieffer Bellows and Brock Nelson scored in the first period for the Islanders, who pushed their point streak to 11-0-1. Rookie Ilya Sorokin stopped 29 shots, allowing only Nikita Gusev to score in the shootout.

Janne Kuokkanen and Yegor Sharangovich scored for the Devils, while Wedgewood stopped 32 shots, including an in-close stop on Casey Cizikas in overtime.

Sharangovich tied the score, 2-2, with less than four minutes left in the second period on a shot from between the circles following an Islanders turnover.

Nelson had given the Isles a 2-1 lead with :01 left in the first period with a shot from the boards that found its way through four players into the net.

Bellows, who scored the game-tying and winning goals in a 3-2 victory on Saturday, opened the scoring at 4:18 when a shot by late addition Sebastian Aho went off his arm past Wedgewood.

Less than a minute later, Kuokkanen tied it, putting the rebound of Damon Severson’s shot into the net.
