Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - Matt Moulson's goal in the fourth round of
the shootout lifted the New York Islanders over the New York Rangers, 4-3, at
Nassau Coliseum.
After the teams traded goals in the first round and misses in the second and
third, Moulson skated down the center of the ice and snapped a wrister past
the stick side of Martin Biron.
The Rangers' John Mitchell had a chance to keep the shootout going, but his
five-hole attempt was turned aside by Evgeni Nabokov to snap a two-game slide
for the Islanders.
Moulson had a goal and an assist in regulation, while P.A. Parenteau scored
twice for the Islanders, who improved to 8-8 in games played past regulation
this season. Nabokov stopped 33-of-36 shots.
Marc Staal, Marian Gaborik and Derek Stepan lit the lamp for the Rangers, who
have dropped three of their last four games. Biron made 24 saves.
