The Islanders then scored three times in the second period.

Lee tied the score at 2:39 as Kyle Palmieri’s shot squeaked through Skinner’s pads, and Lee buried the loose puck for his eighth.

Brock Nelson found Horvat in the slot and slid a puck from the side to set up his teammate to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead with 8 1/2 minutes left. It was Horvat’s 13th and extended his career-high point streak to 11 games.

Holmstrom hammered a one-time pass from Jean-Gabriel Pageau with 5:50 left after Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkinds made an errant pass in the offensive zone to lead to the odd-man rush.

Edmonton had a chance to pull within one goal but failed to execute on a 58-second two-man advantage and only generated one shot attempt on goal following Holmstrom’s goal.

The Oilers finished 0 for 4 on the power play.

Edmonton captain Connor McDavid was held off the scoresheet, ending his 12-game point streak.

Islanders forward Julien Gauthier left the game early in the second period and did not return.
