Lee, Horvat lead Islanders to win over Oilers

NEW YORK — Anders Lee and Bo Horvat scored power-play goals and the New York Islanders beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Simon Holmstrom scored his league-leading fifth short-handed goal and Ilya Sorokin stopped 30 shots as the Islanders snapped a two-game skid.

"It took a little bit of everything from all facets of the game," Lee said. "All guys in their respective areas stepped up and really did a great job."

Leon Draisaitl scored for Edmonton and Stuart Skinner made 17 saves in the Oilers' third straight loss.

The Oilers opened the scoring 1:23 into the first period when Draisaitl surprised Sorokin with a shot from the left faceoff circle.
