Swayman denied Simon Holmstrom, Horvat and Jonathan Drouin in the shootout as the Bruins improved to 8-7-0.

Khusnutdinov tied it at 3 with 4:54 remaining in the third period, converting a rebound in front after an Islanders turnover.

Horvat netted a go-ahead goal midway through the second period, using Boston defenseman Nikita Zadorov as a screen before snapping a wrist shot from the high slot over Swayman’s glove.

Zacha tied it at 2 late in the second with a power-play goal, burying a rebound after Charlie McAvoy’s point shot deflected off traffic in front.

Just 46 seconds after Boston tied it at 1 earlier in the period, Horvat restored New York’s one-goal lead. Emil Heineman forced a turnover in the neutral zone to start a two-on-one rush with Mathew Barzal. Duclair opened the scoring at 5:11 of the first period, converting on a quick wrist shot from the slot.
