Horvat had a goal and two assists in a 4-2 win over the Senators on Thursday. Horvat has five points (one goal, four assists) in his last two games, and seven of his 12 points this season come in his last four games.

The New York Islanders thought their late-game performance was rewarded Tuesday night. So did the Ottawa Senators, albeit for entirely different reasons. The Islanders will look to begin building a winning streak and the Senators will aim to bounce back from a convincing defeat Thursday night,

But as the Islanders try to build consistency, they have to start somewhere and Thursday night’s 4-2 decision over the Senators at Canadian Tire Centre marked their first back-to-back win of the season and just their third regulation victory.
