Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves, Mathew Barzal added two more assists to his Reverse Cy Young campaign, and the Islanders penalty kill spent half the second period on the job as the New York Islanders gutted out a 4-2 win over the Senators start their four-game road trip off on the right foot.
Varlamov stopped 10 shots on the PK and a few more game-saving chances as the Senators pressed for an equalizer late in the game. It was one of those nights that definitely could’ve gone the other way but for a good or bad bounce here or there.
