SASKATOON, Saskatchewan — John Tavares assisted on a second-period goal in the New York Islanders’ 3-1 preseason win over the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.
The first pick in the 2009 NHL draft had been held without a point in the Islanders’ 3-2 win in Edmonton four days ago.
He had an excellent chance late in the second period, but Oilers goaltender Devan Dubnyk turned aside the breakaway attempt.
• Theo Fleury, 41, scored one goal and set up another, sending the host Calgary Flames past the Florida Panthers 5-2.
Fleury, who helped the Flames win the 1989 Stanley Cup, played his second game on a free-agent tryout. The crowd of 19,289 chanted his name in appreciation.
Curtis Glencross had a goal and three assists for Calgary. Olli Jokinen added a goal and two assists.
• Michael Ryder and Chuck Kobasew scored as the Boston Bruins beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 in Quebec City. Boston rookie goaltender Tuukka Rask stopped 25-of-26 shots.
The Bruins were officially the home team for the game at the Quebec Colisee, even though most fans appeared to support the Canadiens, the once-bitter rivals of the defunct Quebec Nordiques.
• Martin Havlat’s first two goals in a Minnesota uniform helped the host Wild blank the Chicago Blackhawks 3-0.
