VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists as the New York Islanders beat the struggling Vancouver Canucks 6-2 on Tuesday night.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored twice -- once on a power play and then shorthanded late into an empty net. Aatu Raty, Anders Lee and Casey Cizikas also had goals for the Islanders. Barzal has scored in four straight games.
"He's skating, he's making the right decision and he's shooting the puck more," Pageau said. "He's got a great shot. When he's playing with confidence like that, he's a player that can make a difference.
