Simon Holmstrom scored his second goal of the game 1:34 into overtime and the New York Islanders beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Saturday night. Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Casey Cizikas also scored for the Islanders, who improved to 3-0-1 in their last four games. Ilya Sorokin made 32 saves, including 17 in a scoreless third period.

Holmstrom was the Islanders’ best player over 17:40 of ice, sniping one to tie the game at 2-2 in addition to the OT winner and the assist on Cizikas’ short-handed goal. The Islanders had to wait a while for him to get it going this season. He’s making it worth the wait.
