Islanders rookie Ilya Sorokin made 20 saves for his second shutout, and Oliver Wahlstrom and Jean-Gabriel Pageau each scored power-play goals as New York finished a strong February with a 2-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night. It was the first time the Islanders recorded a shutout against the Penguins since January 1986 when Kelly Hrudey managed the feat. The Islanders held a 16-8 shots advantage in the second period, while the Penguins outshot them 10-4 in the third. Penguins coach Mike Sullivan was pleased with his goaltender after his club failed to score for the first time in 20 games this season. He also became the second Islanders rookie with two straight shutouts and the first since Glenn Resch did it in December 1975.
