"This is why we call this a season, isn't it? head coach Patrick Roy pondered after his team remarkably overturned a 4-3 third-period deficit and defeated the Penguins 5-4 in overtime thanks to Bo Horvat's breakaway winner. There's gonna be nights where you feel like you play a great game and you win, and there's nights you play a great game, and you don't, he continued. Then there are nights where you don't play your best and you manage to win. [Tuesday night], I thought that."
"Tuesday night was New York's fifth game in seven days, the final stretch of a significantly packed schedule put together by the league ahead of the three-week break for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. Yeah, this is a lot, Horvat, who will represent Team Canada at the Winter Games, said. Everybody's fighting to get as many points as we can and get rested up to go into the break and then come back even stronger than we were going into it."
The New York Islanders erased a 4-3 third-period deficit and defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 in overtime via a Bo Horvat breakaway winner.

Fatigue affected the Islanders through much of regulation, and the team had struggled in recent games but managed a comeback. Horvat will represent Team Canada at the Winter Games and emphasized the need to secure points and rest before the break.
