The New Jersey Devils secured a 5-4 overtime victory over the New York Islanders on November 8, 2026, in a game marked by a relentless offensive push from New Jersey and a standout performance from Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin.
Sorokin turned aside numerous scoring chances, keeping his team in the contest, but the Devils' sustained pressure eventually broke through in the extra period. The match also drew scrutiny over several non-calls by officials that influenced the flow of play.
