Mathew Barzal's game-winning goal keeps Islanders alive in first round

Highlights from the Islanders' 3-2 Game 4 double-overtime victory over the Hurricanes. Three stars 1. Mathew Barzal The individual effort on Barzal's first goal — after he'd put together a quiet series to that point — was of the highest level. Then he doubled it by scoring the game-winner.

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Pageau had yet to make his presence felt in the series after returning from injury in Game 2, but did so in the best possible way Saturday, scoring to make it 2-1 early in the third and going 19-for-23 at the dots.
