 UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) - The Blues were less than perfect guests as the Islanders began the Ryan Smyth era. Lee Stempniak's power-play goal 25 seconds into overtime gave St. Louis a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over New York on Thursday night in Smyth's debut on Long Island.
Stempniak had an open shot from the left circle off a pass from Eric Brewer and beat Rick DiPietro to the far corner to give the Blues their sixth win in seven games (6-1-0).
"It's a really good win for us," Stempniak said. "Eric made a great fake and drew the goalie out, and slid it over to me. DiPietro had too much room to cover to get back in time."
