NEW YORK _ The Islanders kept David Pastrnak, one of the NHL's hottest players and part of one of the league's top lines, off the scoresheet. But they still couldn't beat the Bruins at home.
Patrice Bergeron's power-play goal at 1:33 of overtime gave the Bruins a 3-2 win at Barclays Center on Saturday night, their ninth straight win over the Islanders in New York. Brock Nelson was called for tripping Brad Marchand 40 seconds into the three-on-three period.
Semyon Varlamov made 30 saves for the Islanders (27-12-4), who had their winning streak snapped at two games as they started a stretch of seven games in 11 days heading into their All-Star break/bye week.
