Casey Cizikas made no mistake on the clean breakaway he got in overtime of Game 2 of the Islanders’ second-round playoff series against the Bruins on Monday night in Boston, burying the puck behind Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask for his first playoff goal since 2015 to give the Isles a 4-3 win and even the best-of-seven series, one game apiece.

Barzal also got a breakaway Monday night, with little less than six-and-a-half minutes remaining in the second period while the teams were playing four-on-four and the Isles were ahead, 2-1.
