Bo Horvat scored twice in the second period Monday night for the host New York Islanders, who beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1 in Elmont, N.Y.

They spent most of the game in the offensive zone thanks to a dominant forecheck, beat the speedy Blue Jackets to most pucks while winning one-on-one physical battles, and had their special teams make a positive difference in a 3-1 victory over Columbus on Monday night at UBS Arena.
