The New York Islanders were able to end their losing skid with a 4-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils. The Isles outplayed the Devils in the first and most of the third period but a late second goal sent the game to overtime.
In overtime, the Islanders possessed the puck almost the entire way. Finally, after the Isles knocked the puck away from the Devils, Mathew Barzal was sent in on a breakaway and he put the game on ice.
Obviously, it wasn’t the perfect game, but the Islanders came away with a win.
