Brady Tkachuk's Hat Trick Propels Senators Past Islanders in Overtime

The Ottawa Senators' victory over the New York Islanders puts the latter's playoff aspirations in jeopardy.

Brady Tkachuk scored a hat trick, including the game-winning goal in overtime, as the Ottawa Senators defeated the New York Islanders 4-3.
The Islanders lost their third consecutive game, falling out of the second Eastern Conference wild card spot, one point behind the Detroit Red Wings.
Bo Horvat tied the game for the Islanders with a power play goal in the final minute of regulation, but was later penalized in overtime, leading to Tkachuk's winning goal.
The Senators have now won three straight games, all in overtime or a shootout, after a seven-game losing streak.
With 16 games remaining, the Islanders face a challenging schedule as they strive to secure a playoff spot.
