Sorokin gets 5th shutout in New York's 4th straight victory

Bo Horvat scored in his home debut with New York Islanders, leading his new team to a resounding 4-0 win over the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday night.

It was Horvat’s second game with New York after being acquired in a trade with the Vancouver Canucks on Jan. 30. The 27-year-old skated in his first game with New York on Monday night.

Ilya Sorokin made 31 saves in his fifth shutout this season and No. 15 for his career.

Samuel Bolduc – his first NHL goal, Simon Holmstrom and Zach Parise also scored in New York’s fourth straight win, and Jean-Gabriel Pageau added two assists.

The Islanders (27-22-5) won four in a row, including 2-1 at the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday.

Martin Jones made 23 saves for the Kraken (29-16-5), who played for the first time since Jan. 28 and started a five-game road trip.

Seattle forward Andre Burakovsky left the game after he sustained a lower-body injury on his first shift.
