ELMONT, N.Y. -- The New York Islanders clinched the final Stanley Cup Playoff berth in the Eastern Conference with a 4-2 win against the Montreal Canadiens at UBS Arena on Wednesday.
Brock Nelson scored twice for the Islanders (42-31-9). Ilya Sorokin made 17 saves.
Sam Montembeault made 31 saves, and Rem Pitlick and Nick Suzuki scored for the Canadiens (31-44-6).
