SUNRISE Adidas Wade Megan Jersey , Fla. (AP) — The Florida Panthers are starting to gain momentum.Aleksander Barkov scored the go-ahead goal in the third period, and the Panthers beat the New York Islanders 4-2 on Saturday night.Troy Brouwer, Mike Hoffman and Denis Malgin also scored for the Panthers, who won their third straight. Roberto Luongo made 29 saves for his third straight win after missing nearly a month with a knee injury.“I think we’re finding a pretty good rhythm,” Luongo said. “Heading into the third period we have that confidence that we’re going to pull it out, whether they’re tied, ahead or trailing. It’s a little bit of the same feeling toward the end of last year and it’s just a matter of keeping going here.”Meanwhile, the Islanders are losing steam.Brock Nelson and Mathew Barzal scored goals for New York, which has lost three in a row after winning its previous five. Robin Lehner stopped 27 shots.“Tonight, we were in a pretty good spot on the road Adidas Evgeny Svechnikov Jersey , tied, just go out there and win a period and win a game,” Nelson said. “We weren’t able to do it. We want to stop it now and get going.”Brouwer recorded an empty-net goal with less than a second remaining.The Panthers went ahead 3-2 on a 4-on-3 power play at 4:43 of the third period when Barkov’s shot from the left circle beat Lehner, who was screened on the play by Jonathan Huberdeau.“All I had to do was just put it in because (Huberdeau) was there and made a really good screen,” Barkov said.Nelson put the Islanders ahead 2-1 on his wrist shot from the slot at 8:10 of the second.“Tonight, we were in a pretty good spot on the road, tied, just go out there and win a period and win a game,” Nelson said. “We weren’t able to do it. We want to stop it now and get going.”Florida tied the game on Hoffman’s goal with 45 seconds left in the second. Hoffman backhanded a pass from behind the net that deflected off the skate of defenseman Ryan Pulock into the net, extending Hoffman’s points streak to 11 games.The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Malgin’s goal. Jared McCann passed from behind the net out to Malgin Adidas Jonathan Bernier Jersey , who pushed the puck past Lehner at 6:18 of the first. The goal was Malgin’s first of the season.The Islanders tied it just over a minute later when Barzal flipped a backhanded shot past Luongo on a breakaway. Nelson leads the Islanders with eight goals.“We were up 2-1, then gave up a late goal, then 2-2. They get the power-play goal and all of a sudden you’re chasing them,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “We really couldn’t generate much after that goal.”NOTES: The Panthers hosted Bill Torrey Tribute Night for the late Hall of Famer.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg isn’t sure how many more milestones he has left as he prepares to complete his 15th season in Detroit.The 37-year-old is eager to find out.”I hope so,” Zetterberg said after picking up his 954th career point to match Sergei Fedorov for fifth on the franchise list following 6-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday. ”I think this is the one that was kind of in reach. The next big one in my point production, it’ll take a while. So we’ll see.”Next on the list: Nicklas Lidstrom at 1 Adidas Paul Thompson Jersey ,142.Zetterberg earned the secondary assist on Danny DeKeyser’s goal that put Detroit up 5-3 with 9:50 remaining.In closing a season in which Detroit will miss the playoffs for a second consecutive year, Zetterberg and his teammates finally had something to feel good about.The Red Wings won on the road for the first time in more than a month by snapping an 0-10-1 skid – their worst since the 1981-82 season.And they did it with a balanced attack, while overcoming a 2-0 first-period deficit.Though the Red Wings’ offensive production came mostly from their youngster, goalie Jimmy Howard said Zetterberg deserves the credit for being a role model.”He’s awesome. He’s one of those leaders you can’t say enough about,” said Howard, who stopped 29 shots. ”It doesn’t matter what the situation is, whether we’re in the playoffs or not, he leads by example. And I think that’s what our young guys need right now.”Anthony Mantha, with his team-leading 24th, scored the go-ahead goal by converting a rebound off a shot he deflected with 3:34 left in the second period.Dylan Larkin and rookie first-round pick Evgeny Svechnikov had a goal and assist each. Darren Helm Adidas Troy Brouwer Jersey , with a short-handed goal, and Andreas Athanasiou also scored for Detroit, which hadn’t won on the road since a 3-2 overtime victory against the New York Rangers 3-2 on Feb. 25.The NHL’s last-place Sabres endured yet another familiar collapse at home, where they are now assured of finishing with the fewest wins in an 82-game season in franchise history. With an 11-24-5 home record, and one game at Buffalo left, the Sabres can’t match their previous low win total of 13 set in 2012-13.Rookie Sabres coach Phil Housley blamed the loss on too many lapses.Jack Eichel simply called it, ”frustrating.”Added Eichel: ”You’re not going to win hockey games playing like we did.”Eichel set a single-season career high by scoring his team-leading 25th goal. Ryan O’Reilly also scored, and center Casey Mittelstadt set up Evan Rodrigues‘ goal by winning a faceoff in the third period for his first career assist in his NHL debut.Selected with the eighth pick in last year’s draft, Mittelstadt signed with Buffalo this week after electing to skip his final three college season at Minnesota.Sabres goalie Robin Lehner did not return for the start of the third period after sustaining an undisclosed injury. He allowed three goals on 20 shots through two periods. Chad Johnson gave up three goals on 12 shots.Mantha scored just after a faceoff violation penalty called against Mittelstadt expired. Mantha was allowed to stand alone in front, where he deflected Joe Hicketts‘ shot from the blue line. Lehner got a piece of the shot Adidas Michael Hutchinson Jersey , though Mantha was still untouched while easily converting the rebound.Athanasiou’s scored a 1:50 into the third period to put the Red Wings up 4-2 by capping an exceptional series of passes. Niklas Kronwall broke up the left wing and flipped a pass through the middle to Justin Abdelkader, who tapped the puck through his legs in setting up Athanasiou in the slot.NOTES: Detroit won for the third time in 16 games (3-12-1). … Coming of a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday, the Red Wings 11 combined goals matched the total of their previous five games. … Rather than having the starting goalie lead the Sabres out for pre-game warm-ups, Mittelstadt got the honor in skating out on his own for 20 seconds before being joined by his teammates. The 19-year-old drew applause upon jumping the boards and hitting the ice for his first shift 1:27 into the game.UP NEXTRed Wings: Host Ottawa Senators on Saturday.Sabres: At Nashville on Saturday.—
