Brock Nelson’s OT goal propels Islanders past Blue Jackets

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Brock Nelson scored 33 seconds into overtime to lift the New York Islanders to a 3-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

Nelson beat Joonas Korpisalo from the slot off a feed from Nick Leddy to give the Islanders their fourth straight win.

Boone Jenner had tied the score for the Blue Jackets late in the second period when he pounced on a puck that fell out of New York goalie Thomas Greiss’ glove after a shot by Dean Kukan. The third period was scoreless.

Mathew Barzal and Michael Dal Colle also tallied for the Islanders.
