Artemi Panarin led the NYRangers to victory with a 5 point night.
Jesper Fast had a goal and two assists, Adam Fox added a goal and an assist, and Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba also scored to help the Rangers get their third win in four games overall and fifth straight at home. Brady Skjei had two assists.
Panarin, facing the Islanders for the first time in the regular season since spurning them to sign with the Rangers in free agency last summer, increased the lead to 4-1 when he backhanded the puck past Varlamov on a breakaway 49 seconds into the third period. Nelson batted the deflection of Eberle’s shot out of the air and over Georgiev’s left shoulder for his 16th with 7:12 remaining.
Fox made it 3-1 as he got the puck at the right point, skated up the right side and fired it past Varlamov between his left pad and glove with 8:49 left. It was the defenceman’s sixth of the season and first since Nov. 30 at New Jersey. Eberle got the Islanders on the scoreboard just 18 seconds in, putting the puck past Georgiev from the right side on the game’s first shot. It was Eberle’s fifth of the season.
