Watch New York Islanders vs Florida Panthers Live Online

The Islanders still can't hold onto leads -- they blew a 3-0 first-period advantage at Carolina on Friday before Kyle Okposo's OT goal gave them a 4-3 victory over the reeling Hurricanes. It was the ninth time in 19 games they've gone beyond regulation time, but only the third time they've gone home with two points.

Tavares comes to South Florida for the first time after his first two-goal game in the NHL. He scored twice in the first period as the Isles jumped to a 3-0 lead, which they blew before Kyle Okposo scored with 15 seconds left in overtime to win it.Tavares now leads all rookies with 7 goals and 16 points. Though much is expected from anyone taken with the No. 1 pick, Tavares is producing more than his coach thought he would.

Tomas Vokoun has only four victories this season, but three have been shutouts -- including Thursday's shootout win at Boston in which he made 40 saves through 65 minutes, then stopped four more shots in the shootout before Cory Stillman scored against Boston's Tim Thomas to win it. Vokoun did his best work in the second period, which ended with no score even though Boston outshot the Panthers 19-1.
