The teams opened with a fast-paced but low-event first period. The Blues had one sustained shift in the Islanders’ zone but Oliver Wahlstrom, then Cizikas blocked shots from defenseman Pierre-Olivier Joseph, Sorokin blockered away defenseman Matthew Kessel’s hard blast and then smothered Kasperi Kapanen’s shot at 16:12.

The game-winning goal was the seventh of Neighbours’ career, which is fifth in franchise history among players younger than 23. Ahead of him? Wayne Babych (10), Robert Thomas (9), Doug Gilmour (9) and Perry Turnbull (8).
