    With An OT Win, The Islanders Have One More Shot At Making History

    The Islanders as we know them will play at least one more game. “It doesn't have to be pretty, you know?” Roy said after Mathew Barzal redirected a shot by Robert Bortuzzo 1:24 into the second overtime to lift the Islanders to a 3-2 win over the Hurricanes in Game 4 of an Eastern Conference first-round series. With the win, the Islanders avoided being swept, forced a Game 5 tonight in North Carolina and redirected the conversation from what will happen to the longest-tenured core in the four professional sports after this season to can the longest-tenured core in the four professional sports do what has only been achieved a handful of times in history? With the Rangers completing a sweep of the Capitals in the NHL, the NBA's Thunder and Timberwolves dispatching of the Pelicans and Suns in four games and the NHL's Panthers and NBA's Nuggets finishing off the Lightning and Lakers, respectively, in five games, teams that race out to a three games to none lead in a best-of-seven series are now 296-5 all-time in the aforementioned series.

    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. Mathew Barzal of the New York Islanders reacts after he tips in the puck for the game-winning goal in double overttime. 2. Jean-Gabriel Pageau Michelle Farsi/New York Post 2. 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.

    After Game 4 double-OT loss, Hurricanes must seize next chance to close out Islanders

    The Hurricanes couldn’t close out their first-round series against the Islanders on the road. The Canes get another chance to close it out at home, and that’s one chance they have to finish.
