PENGUINS 3,
COYOTES 2, OT
GLENDALE, Ariz.
-- Phil Kessel scored on a power play at 4:09 of overtime, Matt Murray stopped 30 shots and Pittsburgh beat Arizona.
Pittsburgh had a 4
on 3 in overtime when Richard Panik was called for slashing and Kessel cashed in, redirecting Sidney Crosby's shot from the point past Darcy Kuemper.
Outscored 10-4 in
consecutive losses, Pittsburgh fell behind on Clayton Keller's first-period goal. The Penguins rallied in the second when Jusso
Riikola and Jake Guentzel scored 40 seconds apart, but Derek Stepan scored with 5 1/2 minutes left in the third to tie it.
With his power-play
goal, Keller became the fastest player in Arizona history to reach 100 points,
hitting the mark in 132 career games.
ISLANDERS 2,
CAPITALS 0
WASHINGTON -- Josh Bailey and Cal
Clutterbuck scored third-period goals, Thomas Greiss
made 19 saves and the New York
Islanders beat the Capitals 2-0 on Friday night in Barry
Trotz's return to Washington to move into first place in the Metropolitan
Division.
Trotz's Islanders have won four in a row and 14 of 17 games
to leapfrog the team he coached to the Stanley Cup last year. They held
Washington under 20 shots and improved to 7-0-0 in the second half of
back-to-back sets this season.
The Capitals have hit a rough patch under new coach Todd Reirden,
losing four in a row for the first time since March 2017. Washington has just
one 5-on-5 goal during its skid and has lost seven of 10.
Greiss wasn't tested much on the way to his second shutout
this season. Bailey redirected Mathew Barzal's
shot 5:08 into the third, and Clutterbuck scored on a 2-on-0 rush not long
after.
