Mark Eaton capped his 600th NHL game with the
winner at the 2:35 mark of overtime to lift the New York Islanders past
Ottawa, 2-1, at Scotiabank Place. Eaton was in the right place at the right
time on the right side to accept a Milan Jurcina pass and backhand the
puck past an out-of-position Craig Anderson to end the contest. Matt
Martin also tallied and Evgeni Nabokov stopped 23 shots for the
Islanders, who had lost two in a row. Zack Smith scored for the Senators,
who returned home following a six-game road trip but lost their fifth
straight outing. Anderson finished with 30 saves
