The New York Islanders have gone streaking in January – they lost three games in a row to start the month, then won three games on their road trip, then lost back-to-back games on Jan.

Mat Barzal might be in some hot water with Islanders fans following last night's game, as he was caught on camera muttering some negative words about the crowd.

Bo Horvat scored twice in the second period Monday night for the host New York Islanders, who beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 in Elmont, N.Y.

This was the sort of effort which, if the Islanders could replicate it consistently, makes them look like a playoff contender.

Safe to say that the Vancouver Canucks are regretting their decision to sign J.T. Miller over Bo Horvat. A few weeks ago, I spoke with New York Islanders alternate captain Bo Horvat about the ongoing feud between his former Vancouver Canucks teammates J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson.

The Isles scored a 3-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets at UBS Arena, closing the gap from eight points to six against a team that started the day in the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bo Horvat scored twice in New York's three-goal second period, and the Islanders beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 on Monday night. Simon Holmstrom also scored and Mathew Barzal had two assists as the Islanders won their second straight and fifth in seven games. Ilya Sorokin made 25 saves.

The Isles are 8-5-7 in games decided by a single goal including 4-5 in regulation. They are 2-6 in games decided in overtime and are 2-1 in shootouts. The Isles are 3-8 in games in which an empty-net goal turns a 1-goal game into a 2-goal game.

The Nationa Hockey League announced the Vancouver Canucks quarter-century first and second team on Tuesday morning. Both teams are scattered with old and current players.

Kent Johnson (13-PPG) scored the only goal for Columbus, and Elvis Merzļikins stopped 22 of 25 Isles shots in a 3-1 loss Monday night. The Jackets played a decent first period and led after one, but it was a completely different story when the second came around.
