DALLAS — Anders Lee scored a tiebreaking power-play goal with 10:10 to play, and the Islanders beat the Stars 3-1 on Sunday night.
The Islanders’ first two goals went in off Dallas goalie Anton Khudobin. On the winner, Nick Leddy’s shot from the top of the slot hit the left post and went off Khudobin’s right skate before Lee poked the puck between the goalie’s legs.
Tyler Pitlick scored the game’s first goal for the Stars in the second period before Casey Cizikas tied it with a fluke goal at 14:10.
Cizikas skated behind the net and shot a backhand off Khudobin’s mask. The puck bounced down, hit the goalie’s back and fell behind the goal line.
Leo Komarov added an empty-net goal with a minute remaining.
Khudobin finished with 25 saves.
Islanders goalie Robin Lehner made 19 saves, six in the third period against a listless Dallas offense on the second night of a back-to-back.
The Islanders, who were coming off a loss to the Golden Knights, have won four of their past five games. The Stars had won two of three.
In the first period, the Islanders outshot Dallas 9-7 and had two power plays to the Stars’ one. There were no shots on goal during any of the three man advantages.
Pitlick scored 6:20 into the second. He stickhandled in from the left along the goal line, moved the puck to his forehand and shot it inside the right post.
