"Rookie John Tavares scored on a rebound at 13:48 of the third period to give the New York Islanders a 3-2 victory against the Penguins at Nassau Coliseum this afternoon.

Josh Bailey put the Islanders in front, 1-0, at 9:05 of the opening period when he pounced on a loose puck at the right side of the crease and knocked it past goalie Brent Johnson.

Evgeni Malkin tied the game with a spectacular goal at 17:22, backhanding a shot past New York goalie Dwayne Roloson and inside the far post from the bottom of the right circle.

The goal, Malkin's seventh, netted assists for Eric Godard and Ben Lovejoy. Godard's point was his first of the season."
