winner in the seventh round of the shootout as New Jersey
defeated Montreal in Newark, N.J.
Each team had scored three times over the first six rounds of
the shootout before Sharangovich led off the seventh round,
circled in from the left side and ripped a wrist shot past
Montreal goaltender Sam Montembeault's glove side. Paul Byron
followed with a chance to tie it but Devils goalie Nico Daws
deflected his wrist shot wide of the goal.
It was the 15th multi-point game of the season for Hughes.

games with an assist. Rem Pitlick and Josh Anderson scored for

completed a 4-2-1 trip. Spencer Knight stopped 20 shots for
Florida while Petr Mrazek made 33 saves for Toronto.
Lightning 4, Islanders 1
Victor Hedman and Alex Killorn scored fewer than nine minutes
apart in the second period in Elmont, N.Y. for visiting Tampa
Bay, which beat New York in the first game on Long Island
between the teams since Game 6 of last June's NHL semifinal
series.
Ross Colton and Mikhail Sergachev added insurance goals in the
third for the Lightning, who beat the Islanders in the NHL
semifinals in each of the last two seasons on their way to
back-to-back Stanley Cups.
