NHL: N.Y. Islanders 6, Pittsburgh 5

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Mike Sillinger scored with 26.8 seconds to play Monday as the New York Islanders beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-5.

New York goalie Rick DiPietro stopped 25 shots. New York, with 66 points, is in a three-way tie with Toronto and Montreal for the eighth seed in the NHL Eastern Conference.
