The Tampa Bay Lightning host the New York Islanders after Brandon Hagel's two-goal game against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Lightning's 4-3 loss

Bo Horvat is one of three key New York Islanders who won't suit up Friday night against the Vancouver Canucks, with whom Horvat spent the first eight-plus seasons of his career.

Heineman scored the deciding goal in the fourth round of the shootout after the Islanders o pened overtime killing off a penalty.

Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists, and the New York Islanders defeated the NHL-leading Colorado Avalanche 6-3.

The trio of Cal Ritchie, Anthony Duclair and Max Shabanov suffered two of the longest defensive-zone shifts of the game and struggled to break out all night. Between them and the fourth line, the Islanders had just two shots on goal, per Natural Stat Trick.

The Islanders, who did not practice on Wednesday after returning home early in the morning from Detroit, likely will have to figure out how to play without Horvat again when they face theCanucks, the last-place team in the Western Conference, on Friday night at UBS Arena, and the Sabres, the last-place team in the East, on Saturday in Buffalo.

Detroit — The Red Wings have talked much in recent days about finding different ways to win. Tuesday, upon returning home from a six-game road trip, they had a big third period, rallying from a 1-0 deficit and then snapping a tie to defeat the New York Islanders, 3-2.

Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists Thursday night and the New York Islanders never trailed as they ended the Colorado Avalanche's 17-game point streak with a 6-3 win in Elmont, N.Y.

Emil Heineman scored the winning goal in the shootout and Bo Horvat scored twice in regulation as the Islanders beat the Golden Knights 5-4 on Tuesday.
