Islanders extend point streak to franchise-record 16 games with OT victory vs. Penguins

NEW YORK _ The record book just opened for these Islanders.

The Islanders extended their point streak to a franchise-record 16 games as they shook off another sluggish start, twice came back from one-goal deficits, blew a late lead but beat the Penguins, 4-3, in overtime on Thursday night at Barclays Center. It pushed their streak to 15-0-1, besting the three 15-game point streaks in Islanders' history, most recently a 15-0-0 run from Jan. 21 to Feb. 20, 1982.

They still have not lost in regulation since a 5-2 defeat at Carolina on Oct. 11.
