"Simon Holmstrom scored 1:50 into overtime as the New York Islanders beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3 on Saturday night for their fourth straight win. Holmstrom got the feed from Tony DeAngelo and had a clear path up the right side of the ice before cutting toward the net with a wrist shot to beat Columbus' Jet Greaves."
"The Islanders are 8-0 in overtime games this season, the only team in the league that hasn't lost in the extra period. Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored 22 seconds apart in the second period to erase a two-goal deficit."
"Werenski, second among NHL defensemen with 65 points, has 13 in his last nine games (two goals, 11 assists). It was Werenski's 21st multipoint game this season and the 100th of his 10-year career. With 621 games played, he's the fifth-fastest active defenseman to reach the mark."
