NHL News: Bo Horvat’s clutch goal lifts Islanders past Bruins in OT

Bo Horvat scored his second goal of the game with 1:50 remaining in overtime as the visiting New York Islanders defeated the Boston Bruins 5-4 on Sunday.

After New York goaltender Ilya Sorokin (26 saves) stopped Brad Marchand at one end, Horvat rushed ahead to corral the loose puck and slid a game-winning breakaway five-hole on Boston’s Joonas Korpisalo.

Anders Lee also scored a pair of goals, and Ryan Pulock had a goal and two assists to lead the Islanders, who ended a three-game losing streak.

Boston’s David Pastrnak scored twice in the third period to force the extra session, marking his second multi-goal performance in as many nights.

Cole Koepke and Justin Brazeau also scored, while Korpisalo made 32 saves for Boston, which is 0-3-1 in its last four. Sixteen of Korpisalo’s stops came in the second period.

The Bruins had trimmed two-goal deficits in half in both the second and third periods, but it was not until Pastrnak’s second tally with 7:16 left in regulation that they drew back even for the first time since the opening minutes.

Pastrnak cut the Boston deficit to 4-3 at 4:35 gone in the third, just 54 seconds after Lee’s second goal made it 4-2. He beat Sorokin with a one-time shot off Morgan Geekie’s turnaround feed.

The tying goal saw Pastrnak finish off a give-and-go with Pavel Zacha, who whipped the puck to his streaking linemate to score off a charge down the slot.

Koepke gave the hosts an early lift 3:01 in, charging down the slot and coming to a hard stop at the crease to redirect Mark Kastelic’s centering pass off the left wing up and over Sorokin.

New York’s challenge for goaltender interference on the opening tally was unsuccessful, but only 21 seconds later, Jean-Gabriel Pageau set up Horvat with a cross-ice pass on a short-handed 2-on-1 rush to knot the score.

Pulock gave the Islanders their first lead when he slid in a shot from the top of the right circle through traffic at 5:33 of the opening period.

Lee got credit for New York’s third goal at 4:11 of the second. Less than a minute after Sorokin made a post-to-post save on Zacha, Alexander Romanov blocked a shot and sprung Lee down the left side for a snap shot goal and a 3-1 lead.

The Bruins moved back within one at 10:18 as Brazeau scored from just inside the right dot after Andrew Peeke corralled a loose puck in the neutral zone and made his way down the wing to distribute a pass.

Lee made it 4-2 at 3:41 of the third. The New York captain took Pulock’s pass to the crease and made a backhand move to score his second goal.
