Islanders News: Take the points and leave the country

Semyon Varlamov was huge, the special teams were key, Mathew Barzal picked up another couple of assists — oh and Ross Johnston stepped in for a healthy-scratched Josh Bailey. It all added up to a crazy 4-2 win in Ottawa to kick off a four-game trip.

Take the points, cross the border and get ready for the Predators in Nashville on Thursday.
