Islanders’ Robert Bortuzzo bailed out after costly Game 4 penalty

Had the Islanders lost on Saturday, the third-period penalty Robert Bortuzzo took would have been chief among the reasons why.   Bortuzzo’s hook of Jaccob Slavin looked for a moment as though it was a necessary play, with Slavin on a breakaway and the Islanders holding a 2-1 lead. But Kyle Palmieri was coming in to cut off Slavin’s angle and the penalty set up Stefan Noesen to score on the power play, sending Game 4 to overtime.
