It was over a year since Rick DiPietro had won a game and it might have felt that long for John Tavares since he last scored a goal but both contributed to a 3-2 Islanders victory over the Buffalo Sabres.
Tavares opened the scoring with his 17th goal of the season and first in nine games. JT also recorded 5 shots on goal for the 2nd consecutive game as he slowly breaks out of his slump.
But this night belonged to DiPietro who started his first game at home and registered his first win since December 26th 2008. DiPietro was great in the shootout and made a statement that he is back and is feeling healthy. It's a long road but the news is positive.
The great Brodeur and his Devils come in for a MLK afternoon tilt tomorrow.
