"That was a phenomenal goal. What a move he put out there and then the quality of the shot right in the corner. It was an important win for us. Those power-play goals were key and helped us get right back in the game."
"That goal by Pager got us going. That's a huge goal for us heading into the third. The comeback accelerated in the third period when a double-minor penalty to Pavel Buchnevich gave the Islanders a four-minute power play."
The Islanders mounted a dramatic comeback against the Blues, overcoming a 3-0 deficit. Jean-Gabriel Pageau's goal late in the second period sparked the rally, cutting the lead to 3-1. In the third period, a four-minute power play resulting from a double-minor penalty proved decisive, with Calum Ritchie and Bo Horvat scoring to tie the game. Mathew Barzal then won it in overtime 2:11 into the extra period, assisted by newly acquired Brayden Schenn. The victory was particularly emotional for Schenn, who faced his former team for the first time after being traded to New York.
