Blanking the Devils
The Isles shutout the Devils in each of the last two games and did not
allow a New Jersey goal in the final 135:57 of the season series. Both Greiss and Halak earned a shutout; it’s
the first time the Isles have blanked the same opponent twice in one season
since Rick DiPietro shutout Tampa Bay twice in the 2007-08 season and the first
time two Islander goalies have shutout an opponent since 2003-04, when both
Rick DiPietro and Garth Snow blanked Atlanta in consecutive games against the
Thrashers.
The Isles last had consecutive shutouts against one opponent on March
27, 2009 and January 12, 2010 (against Detroit)
