The New York Islanders made their biggest statement of the season in a 4-1 win against the Colorado Avalanche.
It was a night of firsts for the Islanders as they picked up a win in Denver for the first time since January 10, 2014.
Jordan Eberle got the scoring started for the Islanders, snapping a 10-game goal-less streak moments after the team’s first power play had expired.
Johnny Boychuk added to the Isles lead with the Islanders first powerplay goal of the evening and their first against any team aside from the Detroit Red Wings since Nov.
