Barzal scores late, Islanders beat Bruins 4-1 in Game 4

UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Mathew Barzal broke a tie late in the third period and the New York Islanders beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 on Saturday night to even the second-round playoff series at two games apiece.

Kyle Palmieri, Casey Cizikas and Jean-Gabriel Pageau also scored for New York and Semyon Varlamov stopped 28 shots.

David Krejci scored for Boston and Tuukka Rask finished with 30 saves.

Game 5 is Monday night in Boston, with Game 6 back at Nassau Coliseum on Wednesday night.

With the score tied 1-1 after two periods, New York's Ryan Pulock fired a shot off Rask's chest a little more than 6 minutes into the third, and the goalie covered up the rebound.
