OTTAWA \u2014 Anders Lee<\/a> scored the game-winning goal with 1:03 remaining to complete the New York Islanders<\/a>\u2019 5-4 comeback win over the Ottawa Senators<\/a> on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Lee stripped Jordan Spence<\/a> of the puck and crossed over to the net and beat Linus Ullmark<\/a>, who made 18 saves, five-hole for the winner.<\/p>\n

Kyle Palmieri<\/a> evened the score for the Islanders at 4-4 at the six-minute mark of the third, taking a drop pass from Mathew Barzal<\/a> before snapping a shot past Ullmark.<\/p>\n

With the Senators short-handed, Shane Pinto<\/a> pounced on a loose puck and broke free before being hauled down by Matthew Schaefer, earning a penalty shot. He couldn\u2019t capitalize on the opportunity at the 2:23 mark of the third.<\/p>\n

The teams combined for six goals in the second period.<\/p>\n

Pinto made it 2-0 at 5:32, scoring on a delayed penalty call. But the Islanders cut the lead in half when Emil Heineman<\/a> found a loose rebound and tucked it behind Ullmark just over a minute later.<\/p>\n

Bo Horvat<\/a> tied the game for New York at 9:57 on a nice feed from Ryan Pulock<\/a> to beat Ullmark short side.<\/p>\n

Tim Stutzle put Ottawa back in front at 16:46 with his second of the season, beating Ilya Sorokin<\/a>, who stopped 29 shots, glove side. However, 59 seconds later, Max Shabanov beat a screened Ullmark to tie things at 3-3.<\/p>\n

Ottawa regained the lead when Stutzle found Dylan Cozens<\/a>, who beat Sorokin far side with a wrist shot from the faceoff dot with 1:13 left in the middle frame.<\/p>\n

David Perron<\/a> opened the scoring for Ottawa with a power-play goal with 2:59 left in the first period.<\/p>\n

Senators: Ottawa\u2019s penalty kill was far improved and came up big, killing a 5-on-3 late in the first period.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

Sorokin made a big stick save on Michael Amadio<\/a> in the final minute of the second period to keep the game within one, 4-3.<\/p>\n
