NHL ROUNDUP Wednesday's games



Islanders 3, Rangers 2
NEW YORK -- Miroslav Satan beat Henrik Lundqvist for the only score of the shootout as the Islanders got their first win in the local rivalry in 11 games. Satan had a goal in regulation. The shootout was the first of the season for both teams. DiPietro, back in goal after sustaining a concussion last week and missing a loss to Philadelphia on Saturday night, made 33 saves. The Islanders were swept by the Rangers in six games in 2003-04 and were 0-8-2 in their previous 10 meetings since a 3-1 victory at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 23, 2002. The Rangers had won their last three games, all at home and all with the rookie Lundqvist in goal. The 23-year-old Swede, starting in place of injured Kevin Weekes, had 23 saves. Alexei Yashin scored on a two-man advantage for the Islanders. Jaromir Jagr and Petr Prucha scored for the Rangers.
Blues 3, Mighty Ducks 2
ST. LOUIS -- Eric Brewer scored with 56 seconds left in regulation to give St. Louis the victory. The game appeared headed for overtime when the Mighty Ducks' Teemu Selanne scored a power-play goal at 18:44 to tie it 2-2. But Brewer beat Anaheim's Ilya Bryzgalov with a wrist shot from just inside the blue line to give the Blues the lead. Bryzgalov was playing because starting goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere had to leave the game with a groin strain at 16:55 of the second period. Bryzgalov allowed two goals on 14 shots. Giguere had played all but 15 minutes of Anaheim's first five games. Dean McAmmond and Christian Backman also scored for St. Louis, and Patrick Lalime made 28 saves. Sandis Ozolinsh had the other goal for Anaheim.
Wild 6, Sharks 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Manny Fernandez made 34 saves and Minnesota scored five goals in the third period. Derek Boogaard's first NHL goal put the Wild ahead for good early in the third, and Marc Chouinard, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Jason White and Filip Kuba then scored for the Wild in their second straight win. White had two assists for Minnesota, which finished its four-game homestand with a 3-1 record. Nicholas Dimitrakos scored for the Sharks, who have lost the first two games of a six-game road trip. Evgeni Nabokov made 19 saves for San Jose.
