NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Kreider scored the tiebreaking goal midway through the third period and Henrik Lundqvist stopped 25 shots in the New York Rangers' victory over the New York Islanders.
Michael Grabner, Mats Zuccarello, Brandon Pirri and J.T. Miller also scored for the Rangers at Madison Square Garden in the opener for both teams.
Lundqvist beat goalie Jaroslav Halak for the first time since Jan. 17, 2010, ending Halak's eight-game winning streak in the matchup — including the last five since joining the Islanders.
Nick Leddy, Cal Clutterbuck and Brock Nelson scored for the Islanders.
Islanders captain John Tavares briefly left the game after getting whacked on his left hand in the opening minute of the third.
