NEW YORK — Anders Lee scored two power-play goals to lead the New York Islanders to a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night.
John Tavares had a goal and an assist, Jason Chimera also scored and Jean-Francois Berube stopped 34 shots to earn his first win in his third start of the season for the Islanders. New York, which won its third straight and fourth in the last five games, came in with back-to-back shutouts.
Drew Doughty had a goal and an assist, and Jeff Carter also scored for Los Angeles, which lost its third straight. Peter Budaj finished with 32 saves.
After Los Angeles scored twice early in the third period to tie it, Lee put the Islanders ahead for good at 9:31, deflecting a slap shot by Nick Leddy past Budaj for his 17th of the season. That gave Lee four goals in two games against the Kings this season.
