Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - Rob Schremp posted his first career two-goal game, and Dwayne Roloson got his first shutout in over a year behind 16 saves, as the New York Islanders took it to Detroit in a 6-0 final at Nassau Coliseum.
Isles Blank Wings, 6-0
Mark Streit and Bruno Gervais each had a goal and an assist for the Islanders, who have won four of five and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 contests.
At SB Nation’s Islanders blog, Lighthouse Hockey, fans can’t believe the news, resorting to saying the score over and over again to make sure it’s correct.
Yeah, that's right: Islanders 6, Red Wings 0. What a wonderful fan-Jonsson-back-at-the-Coliseum-tastic night to watch Islanders 6, Red Wings 0. Such a perfectly executed gameplan to result in Islanders 6, Red Wings 0. A little bit of beating Jimmy Howard, a little bit of beating Chris Osgood, and a whole lot of Islanders 6, Red Wings 0.
Obviously less excited are those at SBN’s Winging It In Motown, who are rather short for words this evening.
To be clear, it was not an indictment of the play of Jimmy Howard, who watched his team make 19 giveaways on top of 26 takeaways from the Islanders. Indeed, Babcock confirmed that in a post-game interview on Fox Sports Detroit.
Indeed, the Red Wings defense repeatedly turned the puck over in their own zone, letting New York have chance after chance.
