[December 01, 2015]  NEW YORK -- Cal Clutterbuck scored the tiebreaking goal 1:52 into the third period Monday, and Casey Cizikas added an unassisted goal less than seven minutes later as the New York Islanders beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-3.

Kyle Okposo scored in the first, Mikhail Grabovski scored in the second, and center Ryan Strome added an empty-netter with 47.9 seconds left for the Islanders, who began a three-game homestand by winning for the third time in four games (3-0-1).

Islanders goalie Thomas Greiss made 24 saves.

Blake Comeau, Jarome Iginla and Nick Holden scored for the Avalanche, who are 2-5-0 in their past seven games.

Rangers 4, Hurricanes 3

NEW YORK -- New York jumped to a three-goal lead and survived a strong push from Carolina to snap a three-game losing streak.

Goals from Derick Brassard and Oscar Lindberg, Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello proved just enough for goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who made 33 saves.

Jordan Staal, Victor Rask and Chris Terry scored for the Hurricanes, who could not overcome a shaky night from goaltender Cam Ward, who allowed four goals on 22 shots.

Maple Leafs 3, Oilers 0

TORONTO -- Garret Sparks made 24 saves to earn a shutout in his NHL debut, and Toronto defeated Edmonton.

The victory behind a goaltender called up from the American Hockey League Toronto Marlies ended the Maple Leafs' three-game losing streak. It was Toronto's first shutout of the season.
