Bo Horvat has a hat trick as Islanders beat Oilers 4-2 for their 1st win this season

Bo Horvat tied it short-handed in the second period, scored the go-ahead goal on the power play and finished off the hat trick with an empty-netter with 8.1 seconds left to help the New York Islanders pick up their first win of the season by rallying to defeat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Thursday night.

Seven seconds after Trent Frederic high-sticked Matthew Schaefer, Horvat beat Stuart Skinner with 4:46 left to bring fans — some of whom were booing the home team earlier — to their feet. Mat Barzal had the Islanders' first goal and the primary assist on Horvat's game-winner, while David Rittich stopped 30 of the 32 shots he faced at the other end of the ice in his Islanders debut.
