Another night, and another round of emotions while dealing with the NHL’s greatest, or worst, mystery box — goaltender interference.

For the Islanders to win seven of their past nine games, finally beginning to turn their season in the right direction, a lot of things had to start going right all at once.

Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves, and Simon Holmstrom scored a goal and added two assists as the Isles used their biggest third period outburst since March 2023 to earn a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche before a crowd of 15,735 at UBS Arena.

The New York Islanders (22-20-7) dug deep. They won their fifth game in a row, closing out a very successful homestand with an emphatic third period against the Colorado Avalanche (29-21-2).
