For the New York Islanders, getting their fourth win in five games was the most important thing in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the New York Rangers at Barclays Center.
Getting that win against an archrival? That's just gravy.
"It was a big win," said John Tavares, who scored the Islanders' fourth goal. "We overcame some a few things today. The penalty kill did a heck of a job and Jaro obviously. Nice for our power play to step up when we had one of our chances there and we just got contributions from everybody."
