The Isles beat New Jersey on Friday night, handing the first-place Devils just their second regulation loss in 21 games.
"It was a good hockey game. It's a team that's been playing well all year and we're trying to catch them," said Islanders forward Zach Parise."There's a lot on the line. We had a good little outburst in the second period."
"It is tough to win every night and if you don't take care of the puck and your details aren't good ... you'll lose," Devils coach Lindy Ruff said."Our goalies have given us such good nights. Our puck play caught up to us."Nelson scored from the right side off a pass from Romanov to tied it with 4:23 left, giving him a point in seven straight games.
Cizikas got his first of the season at 3:31 of the second and Wahlstrom scored his seventh 34 seconds later to make it 4-1 and end Vanecek's night. It was the sixth time this season — and fourth in the last six games — the Islanders scored two less than a minute apart.
