NEW YORK, Nov. 4 (UPI) -- Joey MacDonald made 35 saves Tuesday to enable the New York Islanders to post a 2-1 victory over the New York Rangers.
Nate Thompson and Richard Park each scored a short-handed goal in the third period for the Islanders, who have won two games in a row after a six-game losing streak.
Markus Naslund scored and Henrik Lundqvist allowed two goals on 19 shots for the Rangers.
The Islanders ended a scoreless duel early in the third period. Thompson chipped the puck past a pinching Rangers defender and backhanded the puck out of the air at 3:18 for his first career NHL point.
Moments later, Park blocked Michal Rozsival's intended cross-ice pass, gathered the loose puck in the neutral zone, skated in and drove a shot from inside the left circle past Lundqvist for the Islanders' sixth short-handed goal of the season.
