OTTAWA -- Erik Karlsson scored 3:34 into overtime to help the Ottawa Senators rally for a 3-2 victory against the New York Islanders at Canadian Tire Centre on Saturday.
Karlsson had two assists, including Mike Hoffman's tying goal with 36.2 seconds left in the third period. Mark Stone had a goal and Craig Anderson made 28 saves for the Senators (14-7-5).
Matt Martin and Josh Bailey scored for the Islanders (15-8-5), who saw their four-game win streak end. Jaroslav Halak made 27 saves for New York, which extended its point streak to seven games (5-0-2).
The Senators trailed 2-0 in the third period. Hoffman tied it with his 10th goal in nine games, a wrist shot to the top corner on the stick side.
Stone scored his seventh of the season at 8:58 to make it 2-1 when he took a pass from Karlsson and shot the puck through a screen set up by forward Mika Zibanejad.
The Senators handed the Islanders the first goal of the game at 1:49 of the first period.
The play started with Anderson sending the puck up the boards and onto Martin's stick. His shot from the edge of the circle deflected off the stick and then the leg of Senators defenseman Mark Borowiecki before going into the net.
Martin was credited with his second goal of the season.
No goals were scored in the second period despite each team having some good chances. The Senators' best opportunity came four minutes into the period when Hoffman broke down the right wing and found open ice in front of Halak, who denied his shot from the slot.
The Islanders outshot the Senators 14-9 in the second period.
Senators center Kyle Turris left the game with 1:50 remaining in the third period, favoring his right leg after getting tangled up with Islanders center Casey Cizikas.
