Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists Thursday night and the New York Islanders never trailed as they ended the Colorado Avalanche's 17-game point streak with a 6-3 win in Elmont, N.Y.

The regulation loss was just the second of the season for the Avalanche, who went 14-0-3 following a 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Oct. 25.
