Trade-deadline acquisition Kyle Palmieri pays postseason dividends, scores twice in New York Islanders' Game 1 OT win

PITTSBURGH -- The New York Islanders gave up quite a bit to acquire the services of Kyle Palmieri at the trade deadline.

And though it took him awhile, he did choose the right time to pay major dividends.

Palmieri's second goal of the game 16:30 into overtime lifted the Islanders to a 4-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of their first-round series on Sunday.

Palmieri collected a pass from Jean-Gabriel Pageau near the goal line and lifted it over Tristan Jarry and into the net as New York beat the Penguins for the first time in five tries at PPG Paints Arena this season.
