NHL ROUNDUP \ Tuesday’s other games
Panthers 1, Bruins 0, OT
BOSTON — Florida goaltender Craig Anderson followed his record-setting shutout with a 40-save win and Nathan Horton scored 22 seconds into overtime. Anderson stopped 53 shots in a 1-0 victory over the Islanders on Sunday, the most ever in a shutout since shots on goal started being kept in the 1955-56 season. Since 1989-90, it’s the most saves in consecutive shutouts; Dominik Hasek for Buffalo in December 1997 had 75 saves, according to STATS LLC.
Sabres 5, Flyers 2
PHILADELPHIA — Derek Roy and Jason Pominville scored 18 seconds apart early in the third period. Pominville and Maxim Afinogenov each had two goals for the Sabres, who pulled within one point of the Flyers for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Scottie Upshall and Steve Downie scored for Philadelphia, which lost in regulation for the first time in five games.
Islanders 4, Rangers 3, SO
NEW YORK — Jeff Tambellini scored in the sixth round in the shootout, and Wade Dubielewicz, subbing for the second straight game for Rick DiPietro, made 27 saves through overtime. He then turned aside five shooters in the tiebreaker. DiPietro was away from the team following the death of his grandmother, and is expected to return to practice Wednesday. Dubielewicz is 2-0 in NHL shootouts, building off his win at New Jersey on the final day of last season to clinch a playoff spot for the Islanders when DiPietro was injured. Rangers forward Nigel Dawes and Islanders captain Bill Guerin were the only others to score in the shootout. Blake Comeau, Sean Bergenheim, and Trent Hunter had goals in regulation for the Islanders, who shook off Ryan Callahan’s short-handed goal in the third period. Dawes and Chris Drury had the other goals for the Rangers, 7-0-3 in their last 10.
