Panthers Skate By Islanders

     The Florida Panthers played their first contest following the NHL All-Star Game break and beat the New York Islanders 4-1 at Barclays Center on Tuesday night. Harri Sateri picked up his first NHL win as the Cats ended a three-game losing streak.
     In the first period, Florida(20-22-6) scored to go up 1-0 at the 8:54 mark. Michael Matheson put in a tally on assists from Mark Pysyk and Colton Sceviour. Evgenii Dadonov added an unassisted goal at 14:40 of the second period for a two-goal margin.
     The Panthers extended their lead to 3-0 at 4:40 of the third as Keith Yandle scored his fifth goal of the campaign on an assist by Vincent Trocheck.
     New York(25-21-5) got on the scoreboard less than one minute later at the 5:09 mark. Adam Pelech chalked up his second goal of the year with assists from Josh Bailey and Jason Chimera.    
     Jonathan Huberdeau placed the puck into an empty net for Florida with 1:11 left in the frame to cap it. Trocheck was credited with his second assist in the contest on that play.
