Nets equalizer Saturday

Against Boston, the Islanders outshot the Bruins 12-6 when the top line was on the ice, outchancing them 15-8 and outscoring them 3-1 in a 5-4 overtime win. Then, in Vegas, a 4-0 win, they outshot the Golden Knights 5-4, out-chanced them 7-5, and outscored them 3-1.

Matthew Barzal scored the latest go-ahead goal for the Islanders in 2 ½ seasons and it held up for the winner as Marcus Hogberg made 21 saves for his first NHL win since April 2021 and the Isles defeated Utah HC 2-1 before a sellout crowd of 11,131 at Delta Center.

The New York Islanders suffered their second straight loss, falling 5-3 at the hands of the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night at UBS Arena.

After a blockbuster trade late Friday, Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall made their Carolina Hurricanes debuts in the team’s overtime road loss at the New York Islanders.

Barzal scored the winner against Utah at 18:35 of the third period after helping to set up Brock Nelson’s goal earlier in the period. That extended his point streak to five games (goal, five assists), and he can match his career high of a six-game assist streak on Tuesday.

Anthony Duclair and Bo Horvat also scored, and Kyle Palmieri had two assists for the Islanders (20-20-7), who have won three straight games and six of eight. Ilya Sorokin made 29 saves.
