It was a key win for a team playing 22 of its first 34 games at Barclays Center, including their current run of 10 of 11 at home.It was a good win for us, especially at home, said Boychuk, who has 38 career goals. We need to get as many home points as we can while we have this home stretch.Dennis Seidenberg and Ryan Strome also scored for New York, and Jaroslav Halak stopped 23 shots to help the Islanders win for the second time in three home games after opening with two road losses.Boychuks goal at 4:24 of the final period -- with teammate Calvin de Haan in the penalty box -- came after Brock Nelson won a faceoff in the Coyotes zone and sent the puck back to Boychuk at the point. Boychuk fired a shot that found its way past Louis Domingue for his first goal of the season.He won the face-off clean and it was rolling, Boychuk added. It took a 12-to-6 curve ball and went in.Brad Richardson and Radim Vrbata scored 13 seconds apart in the first period to tie the score for the Coyotes. Domingue had 28 saves as Arizona lost its third straight on the road after opening with a home win.You just have to turn the page, its been a tough start to the year, said Domingue, elevated with starter Mike Smith injured earlier this week. I know Boychuk is a shooter in that situation. Sometimes pucks just find their way.The game marked the first NHL meeting between the Strome brothers. Dylan Strome, 19, was the third overall pick by the Coyotes in the 2015 draft and made his debut earlier this week. Ryan Strome, 23, was the fifth overall pick in the Islanders in the 2011 draft.Seidenberg opened the scoring at 4:45 of the first with his first goal as an Islander, rifling the puck past Domingue after a cross-ice pass from Casey Cizikas. The 35-year-old Seidenberg joined the Islanders after playing the last seven seasons with Boston.Ryan Strome made it 2-0 with about 6 1/2 minutes left, knocking a rebound past Domingue for his second of this season. Boychuk got his 100th career assist on the play.It was pretty weird, Ryan Strome said about facing his younger brother. Honestly, its tough because youre watching and making sure your brother is doing alright too.Richardson pulled the Coyotes within one with 5:51 remaining in the period before veteran Vrbata tied when he tipped a shot by rookie defenseman Jakob Chychrun past Halak.Shane Doan, the Coyotes 40-year-old captain and third among active NHL players in games played with 1,470, assisted on Richardsons goal.Domingue made key saves on Jason Chimera and Andrew Ladd on point-blank shots from in front as the Islanders had a 16-4 edge on shots in the second period.The Islanders are 2-1 at home against Western Conference opponents this season after going 12-0-2 at Barclays Center a year ago.We competed hard but we have to find ways to win, Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. We have to keep pounding away at it. We have to do a better job of executing to give us a better chance to win.Islanders defenseman Ryan Pulock made his season debut with Nick Leddy out with an upper-body injury.

Authentic Will Dissly Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. Great Britains six-time Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny could cement his place as the greatest track cyclist of all time by doubling his tally at the next two Games, according to the man whose record he equalled in Rio.Sir Chris Hoy, whose title as Britains most successful Olympian was matched by Kenny adding three golds in Brazil last month, believes the 28-year-old is likely to continue to dominate the sport for years to come.He is only 28 now. I was 28 when I won my first Olympic gold medal and hes got six, Hoy told the Press Association.In theory he could go on for another two Games and could win the same again at each of those.He has potential to win another six gold medals, which is incredible.The future for British cycling in general continues to be bright also.Every time the team perform at that level you think That was brilliant but we cant expect that next time and they go out and do it again, added Hoy, a Sky Ride Ambassador speaking at Sky Ride Glasgow.We can maintain our status as the top nation in track cycling for the foreseeable future, certainly for the next Olympic cycle and for a long time if we keep the investment and keep focusing on the younger riders coming into the programme.If funding is cut that is when you start to have issues.The clamour which accompanied the British gold rush across all sports in Rio, not just cycling, continued on their arrival back home with athletes from all disciplines in demand for media and commercial opportunities.Cycling has a fair share of stars who returned with enhanced marketability but Hoy does not see Kenny, who famously likes to keep a low profile, being distracted by off-track demands.It is a benefit to a sport if you have a number of household names, Hoy said.Cycling now has a dozen who the public would know straight away and that has to help with the marketing of the sport.I never missed training from doing commercial stuff but you certainly miss some rest periods and that wwas the hardest thing.ddddddddddddThe media interest and additional demands mean your time is so scarce and in the background your rivals, who have not had this success and dont have this demand on their time, are working to knock you off your perch.That is the biggest risk for athletes, getting the balance right.Of course reap the rewards because they have survived on a pretty measly budget for a number of years and they have the chance to commercially capitalise on it now.You have to weigh it up against the downside, the more you do of that the harder it is to recover from your training.It depends on the individual and how much they are prepared to work outside their sport.The task of building on the sports success from the last two Olympics in particular has already begun with Hoy one of a number of cyclists - including four-time Olympic gold medallist and Kennys soon-to-be-wife Laura Trott - writing to Prime Minister Theresa May to ask for more investment in infrastructure.British Cycling have their own recreational cycling programmes, which can be found at goskyride.com, but Hoy believes more has to be done to help everyday cyclists get - and stay - on bikes.We sent the letter to Theresa May to put up meaningful funding to allow cyclists to ride safely and encourage more people to take up cycling as the biggest concern is safety, he said.There are so many spin-offs: the health benefit to the nation, reducing the strain on the NHS, getting more people into the sport who could potentially win medals.To ask for five percent commitment of the transport budget is really not that much in what it could mean long-term for the country.It is not a fad which is going to fade away whenever we stop winning medals, we are going to keep winning medals and that is going to keep the sport in the forefront of peoples minds.
