The Islanders salute the home crowd -- their new home crowd -- after their first win in Brooklyn on Monday.

Though it was only their third game of the season, the New York Islanders felt a great sense of relief on Monday.

John Tavares had a power-play goal and added two assists and the Islanders beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Monday afternoon to earn their first victory in Brooklyn.

"I think we're most excited for ourselves," said forward Ryan Strome, who opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 19:48 of the first period.
