 UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Wade Dubielewicz played only 2:24 but earned his second NHL victory Wednesday night when Mark Parrish scored in overtime, lifting New York to a 4-3 victory over the Florida Panthers and snapping the Islanders' five-game losing streak.
Dubielewicz, recalled after Rick DiPietro's knee injury last week, made his NHL season debut with 8.5 seconds left in regulation after Garth Snow left with an apparent leg injury. He made three saves and became a winner when Parrish took Shawn Bates' pass and beat Roberto Luongo with a changeup shot 2:15 into the extra session.
Snow was injured after stopping Martin Gelinas' rush. With the puck still loose, Florida forward Nathan Horton and Islanders defenseman Alexei Zhitnik fell onto Snow as he kneeled and leaned backward. He was helped off the ice after making 36 saves.
