Cal Clutterbuck broke a tie early in the third period, and the Islanders beat the Colorado Avalanche, 5-3, at Barclays Center on Monday night.

Kyle Okposo, Mikhail Grabovski, Casey Cizikas and Ryan Strome also scored as the Islanders won for the third time in four games. Thomas Greiss stopped 25 shots.

Jarome Iginla, Nick Holden and the former Islander Blake Comeau scored for Colorado, but the Avalanche fell for the fifth time in their last seven games.
