Mathew Barzal had two goals and an assist, and Robin Lehner stopped all 10 shots in relief as the Islanders overcame a sluggish and sloppy start for both teams to nab a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators in Brooklyn.
The Islanders trailed by a goal after both of the first two periods, but tied it and quickly took the lead early in the third. Thomas Greiss started the game but was pulled (14 saves on 17 shots) with the Islanders stalling and trailing 3-1 six minutes into the second period.
