NEW YORK — Zach Parise scored the tiebreaker late in the third period and Brock Nelson added two goals as the New York Islanders beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 on Friday night.
Anders Lee had two goals and an assist, Ilya Sorokin finished with 40 saves and the Islanders snapped a three-game skid that included two overtime losses. Mathew Barzal added two assists.
"We all look at the standings, we knew the importance heading into the game," Parise said. "We got teams that are climbing behind us with games in hand, we got teams we are trying to catch, there is just not a lot of room for error."
