Ilya Sorokin stopped 38 shots and Alexander Romanov and Kyle Palmieri scored to lead the New York Islanders to a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins.

But it did keep the Islanders’ faint hopes alive as they held on for 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night at TD Garden to snap a four-game losing streak. Importantly, goalie Ilya Sorokin was markedly sharper and more aggressive than in Tuesday night’s 5-1 loss to the Rangers at UBS Arena — a game in which the Islanders felt they were the better team but could not keep their rivals from consistently crowding the crease.

Ilya Sorokin made 38 saves to help the Islanders hold on for a 2-1 win over the Boston Bruins, snapping their losing streak at four games on Thursday night.
