For the second straight game, the New York Islanders went into a building where they rarely find success, and for the second straight game, they came away with points, but this time with two.
Simon Holmstrom played the part of heri, scoring his second goal of the night just 1:34 into overtime to lift the Islanders to a gutsy 4-3 win over the Wild. It was the kind of game the Isles have learned how to win lately, a game earned inch by inch, against a team that looked faster and quicker.
Minnesota struck first and kept pressing.
