Evgeni Nabokov backstops Isles to victory
Evgeni Nabokov - G - New York Islanders
April 18, 2013 - 10:00 PM ET

Evgeni Nabokov was beaten three times on 21 shots Thursday, but was rewarded with a victory in a 5-3 win over Toronto Thursday.

Nabokov wasn't overly busy in this contest and wasn't at his sharpest, but he didn't need to be since his teammates controlled the play from the outset. The Isles are heating up at the right time and Nabokov is reaping the benefits.
