Matt Barzal scores, chips in with pair of assists against hometown team as New York Islanders beat Vancouver Canucks 6-2
Matt Barzal scored and notched a pair of assist as the New York Islanders handed the struggling Vancouver Canucks a 6-2 loss on Tuesday.
Defensive mistakes have plagued the Canucks this season and the result marked the 16th time in 37 games that the team has given up at least five goals.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. Rookie Parker Wotherspoon – who’s from Surrey, B.C., and grew up a Canucks fan – assisted on the play, marking his first NHL point.
Vancouver cut its deficit to a single goal late in the second with a power-play goal after New York’s Matt Martin was called for hooking. The tally – his 10th of the season – extended the centre’s goal streak to four games. He has five goals across the stretch.
