NEW YORK _ Mathew Barzal took a bad penalty at a bad time. That it ultimately didn't cost the Islanders a win did not temper coach Barry Trotz's frustration all that much.
"I didn't like the way we gave away the point," Trotz said. "We got the lead and we're pretty comfortable with the lead and we took an unnecessary penalty. That's unacceptable. We pride ourselves on team first. That wasn't team first. That was personal."
Anthony Beauvillier, gassed at the end of a shift that could have gone very wrong for the Islanders after he got caught up ice on an odd-man rush, wound up scoring on a breakaway for a 3-2 overtime win over the Sabres on Saturday afternoon at NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum.
