Barzal puts up 3 points, Islanders hand mistake-plagued Canucks 6-2 loss
The Canucks had a prime opportunity to claw back a goal with just over two minutes left in the game when Scott Mayfield was called for tripping. Head coach Bruce Boudreau pulled Martin in favour of an extra attacker, but it was the Isles who scored, with Pageau sending a long shot into the yawning net with 2:09 left on the clock.
The Islanders regained a two-goal cushion 1:46 into the final frame after Vancouver’s Ethan Bear turned the puck over deep in Canucks’ territory. Seconds into the man advantage, J.T. Miller sliced a pass to Horvat in the slot and he blasted a shot past Sorokin to make it 3-2 with his 28th goal of the season.Another ugly giveaway quickly turned into an Islanders goal midway through the second period.
Pageau gave New York the lead with a power-play goal 12:56 into the middle frame after Myers was sent to the box for slashing.
