It added up to a disheartening loss to the Kraken and an early deficit to the Canucks that might have turned into a blowout on another night.<\/p>\n<p>On this night, though, the Canucks only led by a goal after the first period, leaving more than enough room for the Islanders to get themselves right. And get right they did, as Jean-Gabrial Pageau scored twice and Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists in a 6-2 victory at Rogers Arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everyone knew that we could be better out there,\u201d Pageau said. \u201cI thought I could be better \u2014 I didn\u2019t think I played a good first period. I want to keep getting better and better and we did. I thought after that [first period] we outplayed them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A shuffling of the forward lines by coach Lane Lambert seemed to set the Islanders right at the start of the second period. Anthony Beauvillier skated with Pageau and Zach Parise on the third line, with Hudson Fasching moving to Beauvillier\u2019s spot alongside Anders Lee and Brock Nelson. Casey Cizikas, who started the game at wing, was shuffled back to center with Josh Bailey and Barzal on his wings.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Zach-Parise.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Zach Parise (right) celebrates after Jean-Gabriel Pageau (left) scores on Spencer Martin during the Islanders' 6-2 win over the Canucks.\" class=\"wp-image-25229790\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Zach-Parise.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Zach-Parise.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Zach-Parise.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Zach-Parise.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Zach Parise (right) celebrates after Jean-Gabriel Pageau (left) scores on Spencer Martin during the Islanders\u2019 6-2 win over the Canucks.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Only 2:26 into the second period, though, Aatu Raty scored the tying goal after he had played just 1:39 in the first. Raty caught Vancouver netminder Spencer Martin going the wrong way and sent a wrist shot to the far post.<\/p>\n<p>That set the stage for the Islanders\u2019 three-goal second period. The second of those tallies came from Pageau on the power play \u2014 the second time in three games the Islanders have gotten a power-play goal after a scoreless drought that reached 27 tries.<\/p>\n<p>With those units reshuffled as well, Pageau got on Ryan Pulock\u2019s rebound at 12:56 of the period. Then Barzal went top shelf on Martin to make it 3-1 at 16:26 following a turnover by Tyler Myers in Vancouver\u2019s defensive zone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe mentality was to try and get the puck to the net more,\u201d Lambert said. \u201cThat\u2019s what h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened when we scored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Islanders were not completely out of the woods yet. Bo Horvat scored his second goal of the night, on a power play with barely a minute left in the period, to cut the lead to 3-2 before the third period started.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Ross-Johnson.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Ross Johnston jumps out of the way of the puck as Spencer Martin makes a save during the Islanders' win.\" class=\"wp-image-25229794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Ross-Johnson.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Ross-Johnson.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Ross-Johnson.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/Ross-Johnson.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Ross Johnston jumps out of the way of the puck as Spencer Martin makes a save during the Islanders\u2019 win.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If the Canucks had a comeback on their minds, though, Lee quickly put a dent in those hopes, capitalizing on another Vancouver turnover in its own zone and making it 4-2 at 1:46 of the third. Cizikas followed with a wrister off Barzal\u2019s no-look assist at 9:44 to serve as the dagger. And Pageau scored his second goal of the night on an empty-better with just over two minutes left.<\/p>\n<p>Horvat scored the opener at 18:23 of the first, when he tipped Oliver Ekman-Larsson\u2019s shot past Ilya Sorokin for a 1-0 Vancouver lead. Sorokin finished with 24 saves in his first win of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>That Horvat goal put a cap on an opening 20 minutes in which the Islanders were badly outskated, a continuation of the nightmare loss in Seattle two days earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Something had to change, and indeed, it did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore [about] grabbing [the team\u2019s] attention,\u201d Lambert said, regarding the line shuffling that keyed the victory. \u201cI felt like we could play better.
