Pittsburgh

Kyle Okposo scored in the third round of the shootout, sending the New York Islanders to a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night.

Sidney Crosby and New York's Frans Nielsen scored in the second round, and Islanders goaltender Chad Johnson stopped Brandon Sutter. Okposo deked to his forehand, slipping a shot that hit off Marc-Andre Fleury's pad and into the net for the win.

Fleury, who was seeking his 300th career win, had 29 saves.

Matt Martin, Nikolay Kulemin and Ryan Strome scored in an impressive flurry in the first, helping the Islanders to the early lead.

The Islanders have won seven of eight. The top teams in the Metropolitan Division meet again on Saturday in New York.

Bruins 4, Blue Jackets 3 (SO): Alex Khokhlachev scored the winner in the seventh round of a shootout in his second NHL game, leading Boston over Columbus. Khokhlachev was called up from Providence of the American Hockey League on Thursday. His forehand goal came after Niklas Svedberg stopped all seven Columbus shooters, including the final one, Matt Calvert. The Bruins got three goals in the third period to overcome a 2-0 deficit, then hung on after Columbus pulled even on Jack Johnson's goal with 7:13 left in regulation. Dennis Seidenberg scored on a 78-foot shot from the neutral zone and Matt Fraser and Daniel Paille also scored for Boston.

Devils 2, Oilers 0: Second-period goals by Adam Henrique and Tuomo Ruutu were enough to lead New Jersey to a shutout victory over Edmonton. Eric Gelinas assisted on both goals.
