Tavares gets assist in Isles' 3-1 win over Oilers

Provided by Written on September 21, 2009

SASKATOON, Saskatchewan(AP) — John Tavares assisted on a
second-period goal in the New York Islanders’ 3-1 preseason win
over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.

The first pick in the 2009 NHL draft had been held without a
point in the Islanders’ 3-2 win in Edmonton four days earlier.

He had an excellent chance late in the second period, but Oilers
goaltender Devan Dubnyk turned aside the breakaway attempt.

Radek Martinek and Josh Bailey scored first period goals for the
Islanders. Emdonton’s Patrick O’Sullivan beat Martin Biron in
the second period after an Islanders’ defensive miscue left him
alone in front of the net.

Biron stopped 23 shots, making his claim to start in the
Islanders’ goaltending carousel which also includes Dwayne
Roloson and Rick DiPietro.
