Mathew Barzal had a three-point night (2G, 1A) as the New York Islanders rallied for a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators at Barclays Center.
Down 3-1 in the second period, Anders Lee, Johnny Boychuk, Barzal (2G) and Casey Cizikas rattled off five unanswered goals for the comeback win. The Isles four-goal third period tied a season high and the regulation win was also the Isles first when trailing after two periods. Overall, the Isles have won five of their last six games.
"It was a good team effort tonight," Barzal said. "We had the Christmas slump a little bit in the first period at least, so it was nice to get back on the horse, get a couple of goals there and feel good about ourselves going into tomorrow."
