The New York Islanders finally managed to win back end of one, at a time when they needed it most.
The power play got them started, after Philipp Kurashev took a holding penalty on Adam Pelech just 10 seconds into the third.
Barzal eventually pulled it out of a phonebooth scrum in the corner before saucering a back hand pass over Mrazek's blade and right to Horvat in the slot.
The entire first 40 minutes were played at five-on-five, with only a first-period Matt Martin-Jarred Tinordi fight opening the penalty box doors.
