 Penguins 4, Lightning 2
Rookies Bryan Rust and Brian Dumoulin scored their first career
goals as the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins registered a
10th consecutive victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Brandon Sutter and Steve Downie also scored for the Metropolitan
Division-leading Penguins (20-6-4) as Crosby sat out his third game
because of mumps. The star is one of 14 NHL players to have
contracted the illness in recent weeks.
Penguins goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury made 28 saves in winning his
seventh straight start against the Lightning (19-10-3), who are tied
for the Atlantic Division lead with the Detroit Red Wings.
 Islanders 3, Devils 2 (SO)
Josh Bailey's goal in the fifth round of the shootout capped a
two-goal comeback by the New York Islanders, who edged the New
Jersey Devils. The win was the second in a row for the Islanders
(21-10-0), who are the only NHL team yet to lose in overtime.
Bailey and left winger Matt Martin scored for the Islanders in
regulation, while Halak made 26 saves in total and four more in the
shootout. Defenseman Marek Zidlicky and center Scott Gomez scored
for the Devils (11-15-6), who have lost 12 of their last 15 games.
