DETROIT -- If this was John Tavares' final game with the New York Islanders, he certainly made it memorable. Tavares scored 3:16 into overtime as the Islanders rallied for a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings in the season finale on Saturday night.
Having Matthew Schaefer, Mathew Barzal and Bo Horvat on the ice in a three-on-three situation figures to be must-see hockey.
With an assist against Columbus, Horvat added to his team lead of 14 points. The Islanders had a strong night in the dot overall, winning 32-of-47 faceoffs (68.1%). The Islanders continue their three-game homestand with a matchup against the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. Puck drop is set for 7PM.
Anders Lee and Kyle Palmieri scored in the third period to help the New York Islanders top the Ottawa Senators 5-4 on Saturday. Bo Horvat, Max Shabanov and Emil Heineman also scored for New York in its second consecutive win.
