"Trailing 2-0 in the second period, the NY Islanders got on the board after a puck landed at the feet of Anders Lee, who hammered home his second goal in as many games to cut the deficit to one. Just 22 seconds later, JG Pageau created a rebound after a shot from just inside the circle, following up his own shot that somehow found its way behind Jet Greaves."
"Scott Mayfield threw a harmless shot towards the goal that played pinball among the Columbus defenders and into the back of the net to give the Isles the lead, but the lead wouldn't last. Adam Fantilli would tie the game at three as the game headed into OT."
"A Simon Holmstrom winner, as the Isles had just two guys on the ice, gave the Isles the two points, as they're now 9-0 in games that end in OT. The Islanders are now tied with the Penguins for second place in the Metro Division."
