02/12/2012 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tomas Fleischmann, Kris Versteeg and Jack Skille tallied in the second period as Florida powered past the New York Islanders, 4-1, at Nassau Coliseum.
Tyson Strachan also lit the lamp for the Panthers, who have won three in a row. Jose Theodore stopped 26-of-27 shots to post his first win since December 27.
Frans Nielsen provided the lone offense for the Islanders, who finished with two losses on their three-game homestand.
Evgeni Nabokov was charged in the setback with four goals on 15 shots through two periods. Al Montoya finished the game by making four saves.
"You give up two faceoff goals and a power-play goal and you're not going to win too many games," said Islanders head coach Jack Capuano. "We had some chances we didn't bury. I don't think we executed very well at all in the first period. We were chasing them the whole time in the second."
Fleischmann converted a Versteeg dish to put Florida up 2-1 at 4:17 of the second period, then notched the primary assist as Versteeg made it a two-goal margin on a short-side shot during a power play at 11:41.
Skille's return after a seven-game absence due to a shoulder injury was cemented with a long shot to the short side high off a left-circle faceoff win with 1:27 remaining for a 4-1 Panthers edge.
The Isles caught a lucky break with just under 4 1/2 minutes remaining, when Mike Santorelli hit the crossbar on a break down the right wing after Montoya fell down untouched in his crease.
Despite 11 third-period shots, the hosts were unable to dent Theodore.
Nielsen ripped one home from the right wing 3:35 into the contest, but Strachan's blast from the right point sailed by Nabokov for his first career score with 5:03 remaining in the opening period.
Marcel Goc set up the milestone marker by winning a right-circle draw back to the young defenseman.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
