In a thrilling matchup, the New York Islanders triumphed over the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2, securing their seventh consecutive win. The decisive moment came just 33 seconds into overtime when Tony DeAngelo scored on a breakaway, marking a standout performance for the Islanders. Ilya Sorokin was instrumental in the victory, making 28 saves throughout the game. Kyle Palmieri and Adam Boqvist also contributed to the scoreline for New York, the latter making an impressive debut with the team after being claimed off waivers.

The game saw a resilient effort from the Lightning, who were led by Jake Guentzel, who opened the scoring in the second period. Nikita Kucherov tied the game late in regulation, but it wasn't enough to prevent their fourth game in six where they failed to score more than two goals. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 33 shots in goal for Tampa Bay, but ultimately it wasn't sufficient to halt the Islanders' momentum.
