Islanders rally from late two-goal deficit and beat Blues in OT

Oliver Wahlstrom's NHL debut provided some promise of eventual scoring and the Islanders mounted a late rally from a two-goal deficit for a thrilling 3-2 overtime win over the Blues on Monday afternoon at NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum.

Mathew Barzal, from behind the crease, set up defenseman Devon Toews' one-timer for the winner at 1:13 of the extra period.

Wahlstrom was recalled earlier in the day from the Islanders' AHL affiliate in Bridgeport after center Casey Cizikas was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Top-line right wing Jordan Eberle was also out with a lower-body injury suffered late in Saturday night's 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers.
