UNIONDALE, NY (AP) — Anders Lee scored on the power play late in the third period to lift the New York Islanders over the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-3 on Saturday night, snapping a five-game skid.
Lee scored with 2:44 left after Pittsburgh’s Teddy Blueger was penalized for delay of game. It was the fourth goal this season for the Islanders captain. Ryan Pulock and Mathew Barzal had assists.
Semyon Varlamov made 28 saves for the Islanders, who improved to 4-4-2.
“It was a big win for us because we stopped a little bit of a slide here,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said.
