Isles nip Blues in OT
Toews’ goal caps late rally from 2-0 deficit
Devon Toews scored at 1:13 of overtime to complete a stunning late-game comeback by the New York Islanders as they downed the St. Louis Blues 3-2 on Monday at Nassau Coliseum.
The Blues seemed to have the game well in hand in the closing minutes before Brock Nelson put the home team on the board with his third goal of the season at 14:29 of the third. Mathew Barzal then tied the game at 19:33 off a scramble in front with Islanders netminder Thomas Greiss pulled for an extra attacker.
That set the stage for Toews’ goal. Barzal and Nelson had the assists.
Greiss made 21 saves for the win.
