The Florida Panthers quickly got the message their general manager sent with a big trade shortly before the opening faceoff. Tim Kennedy scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and Jacob Markstrom earned his first NHL victory in relief of Jose Theodore to lift the Panthers past the New York Islanders 4-2 on Saturday night.

PLAYER NEWS

Islanders Eric Boulton (NYI - Left Wing) News: Boulton signed a one-year contract with the Islanders, according to the Islanders web site. [+] Impact: Boulton is on the team for one reason, and one reason only, and that is to add some toughness to an otherwise soft lineup. (RotoWire - Fri. May 17, 2013) Eric Boulton (NYI - Left Wing) News: Boulton re-signed with the New York Islanders on Friday, agreeing to a one-year contract. [+] Impact: The 36-year-old Boulton had 36 penalty minutes in 15 games this season for New York. He has 27 goals, 46 assists and 1,301 penalty minutes in 615 career NHL games with Buffalo, Atlanta, New Jersey and the Islanders. (STATS - Fri. May 17, 2013) Nino Niederreiter (NYI - Right Wing) News: Niederreiter is picking up in the Swiss league where he left off in the AHL, according to the Islanders Point Blank. [+] Impact: Nino had 28 goals and 50 points in 74 games for Bridgeport and also leads his Swiss team with four goals, yet the Islanders never called him up this season. The Isles can say anything they like, but it certainly appears he was punished for his comments about the organization last year. The question now is whether the team will shop him for an upgrade on defense or in goal during the off-season. Jonathan Bernier, anyone? (RotoWire - Tue. May 14, 2013)
