Posted: Sunday, December 28, 2003

UNIONDALE, N.Y. Mark Parrish scored the game-winning goal for the second straight night, lifting the New York Islanders to a 3-1 victory that snapped the Toronto Maple Leafs' point streak at 16 games Saturday.

Toronto went 14-0-1-1 since its previous loss in regulation on Nov. 20 at Edmonton. The run tied the longest in the NHL since the 1999-00 season, when points were first awarded for overtime losses.

Lightning 4, Bruins 2

TAMPA, Fla. Martin St. Louis scored two of Tampa Bay's team-record three short-handed goals and assisted on the third.

St. Louis became the first player with three short-handed points since Nov. 18, 2000, when Marian Hossa and Radek Bonk each did it for Ottawa against Florida.

Panthers 3, Mighty Ducks 2

SUNRISE, Fla. Olli Jokinen scored on the power play 9:28 into the third period and Roberto Luongo made 34 saves to help Florida overcome a two-goal deficit.

Jokinen scored his 12th goal of the season when he beat Jean-Sebastian Giguere to the glove side. Anaheim has lost six straight on the road and is winless in 13 consecutive road games.

Devils 2, Penguins 0

PITTSBURGH Corey Schwab made 21 saves and Jay Pandolfo and Jeff Friesen scored power-play goals for New Jersey.

Stars 4, Blue Jackets 3

COLUMBUS, Ohio Brenden Morrow and Mike Modano each had a goal and an assist to lead Dallas to its fourth win in a row.
