NHL Roundup: Pens Win in Shootout

Pitts­burgh 3, NY Islanders 2 (SO)

Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal in the shootout to give the Pitts­burgh Pen­guins a 3–2 vic­tory and a home-and-home sweep over the New York Islanders at CONSOL Energy Cen­ter. The Pen­guins defeated the Islanders, 3–0, in New York on Tues­day. Malkin man­aged to slide the puck under the toes of a sprawled out Rick DiP­i­etro after the goal­tender went down on a fake shot, and New York’s two remain­ing shoot­ers, P.A. Par­enteau and John Tavares, each shot wide of the net to seal the win. Chris Kunitz and James Neal scored third-period goals for the Pen­guins to send the game into over­time, while Marc-Andre Fleury made 17 saves in Pittsburgh’s fifth straight win. Evgeni Nabokov started in net for the Islanders and stopped 30-of-32 shots before DiP­i­etro made his sea­son debut by tak­ing the net for the shootout. Frans Nielsen and Matt Mar­tin notched the goals for New York, which lost its fourth con­sec­u­tive contest.
