Johnny never makes soft plays.

We did, and tonight, it was enough.”Lee pushed the lead to 4-2 with 4:56 left.The Islanders had a season-low 14 shots on goal and had just nine midway through the final period.“Good teams, they find ways to win when they’re not playing well,” Eberle said. “As a group, we’re definitely feeling confident.”Ryan O’Reilly got his eighth with 1:33 remaining to pull St. Louis within one.Brayden Schenn, Zach Sanford and Ryan O’Reilly scored for St. Louis Chris Wideman Jersey , which has lost three of its last four.Lehner made several fine stops in the third period and protected the lead when the Blues held a 6-on-4 advantage in the final 19 seconds.The Islanders entered the final period with a 2-9 mark when trailing after two periods.“That was a big win for us,” Lehner said. “Obviously we didn’t have a great game. But we stuck with it and battled through it together. We scrambled, we just found a way to win.”Schenn pounced on the rebound of a deflected shot by Jaden Schwartz for a 1-0 lead at 4:11 of the first.Sanford tipped in a hard drive from inside the blue line by Vince Dunn with 3:23 remaining in the opening period to make it 2-0. It was Sanford’s fifth of the season and his first since being recalled from San Antonio of the AHL on Friday.New York cut the deficit in half on a drive from the slot by Martin early in the second period. Casey Cizikas set up the goal with a perfect pass from behind the net at 2:25. Cizikas also had an assist on Boychuck’s goal.“The main thing is we just kept hanging in there,” Eberle said. “Eventually, we did some of the right things.”Blues goalie Jake Allen made 10 saves.“I’ve got to be better than that in the third period for this team,” Allen said. “I lost it for them.”St. Louis has lost five games this season after grabbing a 2-0 lead.“We had a couple breakdowns defensively, simple as that,” St. Louis defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said.NOTES: St. Louis D Joel Edmundson was a healthy scratch for the first time this season.
