Islanders find a way to lose late to Canucks

ELMONT, N.Y. — The Islanders continue to not be able to overcome their mistakes.

A defensive lapse and a turnover turned into the Canucks’ equalizer and go-ahead goal within 45 seconds in the third period of the Islanders’ 4-3 loss on Thursday night at UBS Arena.

Semyon Varlamov made 34 saves for the Islanders (20-23-8), who opened a six-game homestand following a 2-2-1 Western road trip and fell 19 points behind the Capitals for the Eastern Conference’s final wild-card spot. The Canucks (27-23-6) have won six of eight.
