NY Islanders unravel in second period; blow 2-0 lead and fall 5-2 to Boston Bruins
"Bo Horvat continued his torrid stretch by scoring 1:08 into the game for his sixth goal in as many outings, then set up Kyle Palmieri for a one-timer that made it 2-0 before the five-minute mark. New York controlled the opening period, outshooting the Bruins 10-4 and dictating play in all three zones. But the game flipped in the second."
"Two early Islanders penalties cracked the door, and Boston barged through with Elias Lindholm's power-play goal at 3:57. Less than three minutes later, David Pastrnak tied it, and just 59 seconds after that, Mikey Eyssimont redirected home the go-ahead goal to make it 3-2. Boston never looked back. Morgan Geekie added a power-play goal in the third and Fraser Minten sealed it into an empty net."
New York opened strongly as Bo Horvat scored 1:08 into the game for his sixth goal in as many outings and assisted on Kyle Palmieri’s early one-timer to make it 2-0. The Islanders controlled the first period, outshooting Boston 10-4. Two early penalties by New York in the second allowed Boston to rally, with Elias Lindholm scoring on the power play, David Pastrnak tying it, and Mikey Eyssimont giving Boston the lead 59 seconds later. Morgan Geekie added a power-play goal in the third and Fraser Minten finished into an empty net. Joonas Korpisalo made 33 saves; Ilya Sorokin stopped 17 and has conceded three or more goals in every start this season. New York faces back-to-back road games after a day off.
