Flames Outlast Islanders, Win 4-3 In OT

The New York Islanders picked up a point but fell to the Calgary Flames 4-3 in overtime.

Defenseman Alexander Romanov returned to the lineup after missing the past two games with an illness, while the Flames were without defenseman MacKenzie Weegar due to a lower-body injury.

With Ilya Sorokin starting 20 of the Islanders' last 23 games, coach Patrick Roy went with Marcus Hogberg as the starter.

Here's how it happened:

The Flames wasted no time finding the scoresheet, as Long Island native Matt Coronato fired a shot from the point that beat Hogberg just 36 seconds into the game:

The Islanders quickly responded, and ultimately tied the game at 1-1 when Bo Horvat found Tony DeAngelo's rebound at 10:46:

This was Horvat's 24th goal of the season and third in his past two games.

The Islanders took the lead later in the period when Marc Gatcomb beat Dan Vladar at 17:41:

This was Gatcomb's fifth goal of the season, with Max Tsyplakov and Noah Dobson registering assists on the play.

The Flames outshot the Islanders 13-11 in the first period.

A Flames odd-man rush left Coronato open in the slot, where he buried his second goal of the game -- and 20th of the season -- at 6:03 of the second period:

It was a sloppy period for the Islanders, but Hudson Fasching nearly broke the tie with a slick move around the Flames' net with just under four minutes left in the frame.

The Flames outshot the Islanders 13-6 in the second period.

The third period had the feel of playoff hockey, with both teams locking things down defensively.

The Islanders came close to regaining the lead with around six minutes remaining when Mike Reilly came close on a wraparound attempt.

Then, Kyle MacLean broke through when he put Tsyplakov's rebound past Vladar at 17:09:
