Islanders 4, Maple Leafs 3 (OT): Horvat gives Isles 2nd early overtime winner in a row

Bo Horvat extended his points streak to seven with an overtime goal as the Islanders topped the Toronto Maple Leafs, 4-3 in overtime on Long Island. That drama came after the Leafs forced overtime with just seconds remaining, on a Morgan Rielly goal that also gave one-time Islander John Tavares his 1,000th career regular season point and secured a standings point for his second NHL team.

Noah Dobson (up to 21 assists now), Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri each had two points, while Ilya Sorokin stopped 34 shots.

That makes two overtime wins in a row — in the first minute of OT both times — and a 3-0-1 start to a homestand that finishes up this week with visits from the Ducks and Bruins.
