After two straight one-goal efforts, the New York Islanders (15-18-7) defeated the Boston Bruins (20-17-5) 5-4 in overtime on Sunday evening in TD Garden.

Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Bo Horvat, and Casey Cizikas all got on the scoresheet in a great effort in Las Vegas.

Mathew Barzal scored with 1:25 left in regulation Saturday night as the New York Islanders completed a perfect three-game road trip by edging the Utah Hockey Club 2-1 in Salt Lake City.

Anders Lee scored a first period goal in his 800th NHL game, and Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves for his 20th career shutout as the Islanders blanked the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 before a sellout crowd of 17,713 at T-Mobile Arena.

This season has provided plenty of gloom-and-doom fodder regarding the Islanders, who sit in last place in the Metropolitan Division. They are three games under the NHL’s misleading .500 at 15-18-7 after Sunday night’s 5-4 overtime win in Boston to open a three-game road trip that continues on Thursday night in Las Vegas.

Trade Deadline season is fast approaching. Here's the information you need to know about the New York Islanders.

• The Isles finished with 37 shots on goal; it is the first time since November 1st in Buffalo (28 games) that they had at least 35 shots on goal, ending the 5th-longest such streak in club history. That win in Buffalo was also their last road win on US soil before tonight; all four road wins in the interim had been in Canada.

The New York Islanders have won just 15 of their opening 40 games to start the 2024-25 season, potentially forcing the team to sell core players for draft capital.
