For all the attention Bo Horvat received for playing his first game against his former team, it was easy to forget that Anthony Beauvillier was also a key part of that blockbuster trade.
The Islanders couldn’t ignore the impact Beauvillier made, either, as he scored the game-winner as the Canucks upset the Islanders 6-5 on Thursday.

While Horvat now has a two-game goal streak, the Islanders themselves saw a four-game winning streak go up in smoke.
Earlier in the game, Beauvillier created a commotion in front of the net during a Canucks goal that was credited to Oliver-Ekman Larsson.
