BUFFALO, N.Y. - New York Islanders coach Jack Capuano had
no choice but to have faith in younger players after star
forward John Tavares was lost to a season-ending knee
injury. Brock Nelson and fellow rookies delivered down
the stretch and provided a glimpse at a brighter future
for the Islanders, who head into the off-season after
missing the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years.
Nelson scored with 3:44 remaining to force overtime, and
then netted the lone shootout goal in a 4-3 win over the
Buffalo Sabres on Sunday night in a season-ending matchup
of non-playoff teams. The Islanders (34-37-11) won by
rallying from a 2-0 deficit and closed the season by
winning three straight and eight of 12 (8-2-2). "These
kids have played extremely hard, and Im proud of what
theyve done not only in the last month and a half, but
these last three games," Capuano said. "They really stuck
together." The future looks even better after Capuano
reiterated that Tavares is on track in his recovery from
a left knee injury and should be ready to begin training
in the summer. There is much more work to do in Buffalo.
Torrey Mitchell, Jamie McBain and Matt Ellis scored for
the Sabres (21-51-10), who had already clinched the NHLs
worst record. The Sabres went 0-6-1 in their final seven
games. With 150 goals scored, Buffalo set the NHL-low in
the leagues post-expansion era that began in 1967. The
previous low was 151 by Tampa Bay in 1997-98. "The
standard has to be set a little bit higher than it was,"
Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. "Well address that starting
with the meetings (Monday)." Nelson, an Islanders first-
round pick in the 2010 draft, was eager to show what
potential the teams youngsters possess. "We knew we had a
young group and a lot of rookies," said Nelson, who
topped the Islanders rookie class with 14 goals and 26
points. "We wanted to go out there and give it everything
we had every night. I think we were able to do that."
Nelson scored the lone shootout goal on the Islanders
second shot. He snapped a shot that rookie Connor Knapp
got a piece of with his stick. But there was enough
backspin for the puck to dribble in. Anders Nilsson
stopped 36 shots through overtime and all three he faced
in the shootout. Nilsson clinched the victory by using
his glove to sweep away a puck that got away from Ville
Leino as he drove to the net. Anders Lee, a recent call
up, scored twice in a game the Islanders never led until
the final score. The Sabres bookended their season with
long droughts. Buffalo got off to a 2-13-1 start, and
ended with a 2-16-2 skid. "This is our job and we failed.
So its definitely salt in the wound," forward Marcus
Foligno said. "I guess when it rains it pours, and you
really just got to keep putting your head down and moving
forward." Though both teams rosters were depleted by
injuries, the Islanders fill-ins proved to be better.
Down 2-0, Lee scored both his goals in a span of 3:40,
bridging the second intermission, to tie it 17 seconds
into the third period. Mitchell put the Sabres ahead by
deflecting in Rasmus Ristolainens shot 10:09 into the
third, before Nelson scored the equalizer. Using
Ristolainen as a screen, Nelson snapped in 40-foot shot
over Knapps left shoulder. The only thing on the line for
the Islanders was where they would finish in the overall
standings. The win pushed them into 26th place, two
points ahead of Calgary. There is a Sabres tie-in for the
Islanders connected to a trade in which Buffalo sent
Thomas Vanek to New York for Matt Moulson and a first-
round draft pick in one of the next two drafts. The
Islanders have until June 1 to determine whether to give
up their selection this year or hold off. NOTES: The
Sabres 21 wins are the fewest in an 80-plus-game season,
and rank second fewest behind Buffalos 16-43-19 finish in
1971-72. Buffalo matched the 21 wins it had in the
lockout-shortened season last year. Their 51 regulation
losses are the most ever. ... The Islanders went 21-18-2
on the road for their best finish since going 21-15-3-2
in 2001-02. ... The Sabres were forced to call up G
Andrey Makarov, D Mark Pysyk and LW Nicolas Deslauriers
from AHL Rochester after the team lost five players to
injuries at Boston on Saturday.
