Brannstrom didn't move as Senators trainers quickly reached the ice and the stretcher was wheeled out of a tunnel. Nine Ottawa players took a knee and the Islanders stood in a circle in a silent UBS Arena as Brannstrom was moved onto the stretcher. Bo Horvat and Cal Clutterbuck scored in the first for the Islanders, who snapped a three-game losing streak (0-2-1). The Senators tied the score during a second period in which the Islanders committed six penalties. The Senators tied the score on Chychrun's even-strength goal at 12:25 of the second period, a little more than four minutes after Brannstrom was injured.
