"ELMONT, NY Emil Heineman salvaged the New York Islanders' night by scoring the game-winning shootout attempt in the fourth round of the skills competition to lift the hosts to a 5-4 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night at UBS Arena. Vegas forward Pavel Dorofeyev equalized with 12.1 seconds left in regulation to force overtime after Bo Horvat's second goal of the night put the Islanders ahead midway through the third period,"
"Nine seconds later, Kyle MacLean was called with a high-stick penalty after an official's review, meaning the Islanders would be short-handed for the first 1:57 of the extra frame. Ceaseless Knights pressure resulted in just two power-play shots, both of which were turned away by Ilya Sorokin, who made 31 saves. Vegas goalie Carter Hart made 23. The Islanders (17-11-3, 37 points) have now won four of their last five games,"
