#Isles Matthew Schaefer’s ceiling is immeasurable at this moment in time.

Happy Free Friday! @TheElmonters

#Isles beat #NJDevils 3-1 to sweep the season series. Horvat's late goal at 16:33 of the third is the game-winner.

Back-to-back games where No. 14 came up clutch.

Head into Olympic break in third place, and remain one point behind #LetsGoPens.

Mathew Barzal. ENG with 23.3 seconds to play in the third. #Isles up 3-1.
February 6, 2026 at 2:35 AM
Bo Horvat. Face-off loss, but he jumps on the puck and beats Allen through the legs after a failed poke-check.

#Isles up 2-1 with 3:27 to go in the third.
February 6, 2026 at 2:31 AM
Lee to Holmstrom but he can't tuck it past the right pad of Allen. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 2:26 AM
DeAngelo snaps his stick on a point shot but Pageau works his tail off to get back and slow down #NJDevils rush. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 2:21 AM
DeAngelo with a heck of a pass to Gatcomb cutting in, but Markstrom stands tall and holds on with 14:24 to go in the third. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 2:08 AM
#Isles get turned around in own zone off a #NJDevils rush but Sorokin makes a strong save at the top of his crease to keep this game tied.
February 6, 2026 at 2:01 AM
Third is a go. 1-1. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 2:00 AM
Anders Lee looks to be okay. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 1:59 AM
Lee went down awkwardly in the face-off dot. Was in a lot of pain heading to the bench. Walked down the tunnel after the period ended under his own power.

#Isles with just seven shots through 40 minutes of play. 1-1 is the score.
February 6, 2026 at 1:42 AM
#NJDevils tie the game at 1-1 with 1:34 to go in the second. Hischer roofs one glove side.

#Isles with too many mistakes in own zone. Got lucky a few times but luck ran out.
February 6, 2026 at 1:38 AM
Ilya Sorokin stones Bratt with the right pad. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 1:33 AM
You just have to love what you are seeing from Ritchie tonight in all three zones in his first game back. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 1:31 AM
Sorokin with his best Pelech impression to deny Hamilton's try. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 1:30 AM
Adam Pelech with the right flipper to deny Hameenaho, who was staring down a wide-open net. #Isles
February 6, 2026 at 1:26 AM
Soucy gets his stick on a wrister as #Isles kill off the MacLean penalty with 10:56 to go in the second.
