N.H.L. Roundup: Islanders Prevail on the Road in Overtime

Kyle Okposo scored off a quirky rebound 2 minutes 20 seconds into overtime to lift the Islanders to a 4-3 victory over the Jets in Winnipeg on Thursday night.

Islanders forward Brock Nelson blasted the puck toward the net, but it hit Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers in the face and Okposo got the rebound and shot it in past goalie Michael Hutchinson.

Calvin de Haan, Shane Prince and Nick Leddy also scored, and Thomas Greiss stopped 26 shots as the Islanders improved to 5-1 on their season-high seven-game road trip, which concludes Sunday against the Rangers.
