Last Night's Action: New York Wins (and Loses)!

Islanders 3, Bruins 2 (OT): The Islanders didn't make their fans wait long before giving them something to cheer for in overtime. It only took 24 seconds until Frans Nielsen scored on a breakaway for the Islanders in the extra period. With the win, the Isles were able to end their three-game losing streak. Goalie Dwayne Roloson was the reason New York was even able to get to overtime — the goalie stopped 17 shots in the 3rd period.
Sabres 3, Rangers 2: Patrick Kaleta scored two goals for Buffalo, including one short-handed goal, to lead the Sabres past the Rangers. Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller stopped 24 shots in the 2nd and 3rd periods.
