They kept their focus and beat the struggling Avalanche in overtime.Ryan Pulock scored his second goal of the game 2:23 into the extra period to lift New York to a 4-3 victory Saturday.“We kind of dug ourselves a hole to start, getting down 2-0, but we stuck with it Ottawa Senators Hats Authentic ,” Pulock said. “Kind of an unfortunate bounce late for them to tie it, but we didn’t go into a shell, we kept playing and we found a way to get it done.”Jordan Eberle had a goal and an assist, Josh Bailey also scored and Brock Nelson had two assists for the Islanders. Robin Lehner stopped 25 shots as New York, which began the day two points ahead of Washington atop the Metropolitan Division, won for the eighth time in 11 games (8-1-2).On the winner, Pulock fired a one-timer from the left faceoff circle off a pass from Casey Cizikas for his fifth of the season.J.T.

Pulock beat Varlamov just 23 seconds into the advantage on a slap shot from the left circle with 6:03 remaining for his first goal in 16 games.“It’s been a while since I scored, maybe at times gripping the stick a little too tight, but I was able to get a couple tonight. …I think my last goal was an empty-netter, so before that it’s been a while since I scored on a goalie, so it’s a good feeling.”Carl Soderberg had a goal and two assists, and Erik Johnson had a goal and an assist for Colorado, which matched a season high with its sixth straight loss (0-4-2).

With the teams skating 4-on-4 after a pair of penalties, he got a pass from Soderberg, skated into the offensive zone and cut to the right before firing it into the top left corner for his fifth.“When you’re winning, you find extra jump,” Islanders captain Anders Lee said. “The adversity — down two goals — it doesn’t bother us.”Eberle finally got the Islanders on the board with 1:47 left in the middle period.
