New York Islanders record: Points in 16 straight games

The New York Islanders have a great history, including four Stanley Cup titles from the 1980s.

But the question is whether they have ever been better than they are right now. In fact, in any case, they have never scored more consecutive matches than they did now.

For tonight, they won by 4-3 after an extension against Pittsburgh, which was the 16th game in a row they took points.

- It's special. But we haven't thought much about it. We take it day by day right now. But when you look back in the future, this is something that we will always remember, says Brock Nelson, who set the decisive 4-3 goal, on the club's website.

- It shows that we have a special group of guys who believe in each other, who go out there and do the job every day. It's not always pretty, but right now we have a lot of confidence and belief in each other and always find ways to win.

One of Pittsburgh's goals was scored by Patric Hörnqvist, who made a comeback after seven games' absence.

- "Horny" made a big impression on us, praised teammate Jared McCann on Pittsburgh's website.
