On Thursday, Jason Blake tallied a goal and two assists as the Islanders beat the New Jersey Devils, 5-2, at Continental Airlines Arena.
Trent Hunter, Miroslav Satan, Alexei Zhitnik and Viktor Kozlov each netted a goal for the Islanders, who have won four of their last five games overall. Rick DiPietro made 14 saves for New York, which has won five straight and seven of the last nine meetings.
