The New York Islanders came back from their five-day break and lost 2-1 in overtime at the Colorado Avalanche on Friday on a power-play goal with 16.1 seconds remaining. "I thought we were pretty good coming off the break," captain John Tavares told Newsday. "We had some chances and it was an unfortunate [penalty] call in OT. Those [penalties] are tough to kill." After a five-game losing streak, the Islanders are 4-1-1 in the past six games as they try to make up ground in the Eastern Conference. "We needed two points, but we have to take some of the good things we did into [Arizona] with the quick turnaround," defenseman Johnny Boychuk told Newsday. "It's tough to feel good about that one, but we have no choice now." Boychuk scored New York's only goal against the Avalanche and will play his 500th NHL game Saturday. New York is 4-8-3 away from Barclays Center. Goaltender Thomas Greiss made 37 saves and has allowed seven goals in the past four games, going 3-0-1 over that span. Tavares needs two points for 500 in his NHL career.
