UNIONDALE, N.Y. -- Kyle Okposo scored the tying goal on a power play late in regulation and then netted the decisive tally in the shootout for the New York Islanders, who rallied past Philadelphia 4-3 Monday to earn a rare win over the Flyers. The Islanders used a dominant third period to erase a 3-1 deficit and force overtime. Brock Nelson made it a one-goal game at 8:16, and Okposo tied it with 2:58 left in regulation on a lunging push with his stick after the puck struck his skate. The goal was confirmed by video replay. Frans Nielsen and John Tavares also scored in the four-round shootout against Ray Emery, who made 40 saves through overtime.

Nilsson improved to 1-2-2 in his sixth outing of the season and 10th his NHL career. Emery was sharp until late. He beat the Islanders in relief of Steve Mason on Saturday, stopping all five shots he faced in 26 minutes. Read got the scoring going 1:26 into the second while teammate Nicklas Grossmann served a hooking penalty. Read raced with his puck all the way from his zone, moved around defenceman Andrew MacDonald in front and scored with a backhander.

Simmonds put the Flyers back in front, scoring off his own rebound at 11:30, and Read made it 3-1 with 1:44 left in the second. Philadelphia scored three times on just nine second-period shots.

One run separated them in Game 2. So, it was destined that Game 3 would reach extra innings. The Goldeyes battled back from a four-run deficit for the second time in the series to beat the Saltdogs 7-6 in 10 innings Saturday night in Game 3 of the AADS before 2,094 fans at Haymarket Park in Lincoln. The win gives the Goldeyes a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. Winnipeg can clinch the series tomorrow night in Game 4. The Goldeyes got on the board early as the second batter of the game, Jake Blackwood, hit a home run to left field in the top of the first inning. In the top of the third, Brock Bonds single up the middle hit Saltdogs starting pitcher Kevin McGovern in the back, which caused McGovern to leave the game. Bond then went to third after Lincoln reliever Justin Kuks threw a pickoff attempt down the right field line, and scored on a Tyler Kuhn sac fly. After Goldeyes starter Nick Hernandez struck out the first five Saltdogs he faced, Lincoln got to him in the bottom of the third. With a run on the board and two runners on base, Hernandez intentionally walked Saltdogs slugger Ian Gac to load the bases. Brian Joynts fly ball to left-centre field bounced off the glove of Goldeyes left fielder Donnie Webb and fell to the ground.dddddddddddd The error cleared the bases and gave Lincoln a 4-2 lead.

Mazzola almost hit his second home run in as many at bats in the seventh, but Lincoln left fielder Jeremy Hamilton leaped at the wall to steal the home run. After Winnipeg reliever Brendan Lafferty left the go-ahead run on base for Lincoln in the bottom of the eighth and ninth, Reggie Abercrombie led off the top of the 10th with a single. He was sacrificed to second thanks to a bunt from Webb and went to third on a balk by Saltdogs reliever Trey Barham. That allowed Luis Alen to drive a ball to right field and Abercrombie scored on the sac fly. From there, Goldeyes closer Chris Kissock pitched a perfect 10th inning to preserve the win and earn his first save of the playoffs. Blackwood and Abercrombie each had three hits in the game, while Mazzola had three RBI. Lafferty picked up the win for the Goldeyes, while Barham suffered the loss.
