Islanders Come Back From The Dead, Then Stun Defending Cup Champion Blues In Overtime

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Devon Toews scored at 1:13 of overtime to complete a stunning late-game comeback by the New York Islanders as they downed the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Monday.

The Blues seemed to have the game well in hand in the closing minutes before Brock Nelson put the home team on the board with his third goal of the season at 14:29 of the third. Mathew Barzel then tied the game at 19:33 off a scramble in front with Islanders netminder Thomas Greiss pulled for an extra attacker.

That set the stage for Toews’ goal.
