He becomes the eighth defenseman all-time to do so and joins Bob Bourne as the only NYI player to ever accomplish that…
Bo Horvat scored his fourth goal in two games, while Emil Heineman scored his second of the season. Kyle Palmieri tied the game at the six-minute mark of the third period.
Goaltender Ilya Sorokin turned aside 30 of 34, which included a penalty shot stop on Shane Pinto, who leads the NHL with seven goals this season.
The Islanders host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at 7 PM ET.
