LATE GOAL SINKS BRUINS

David Vyborny celebrates his 9th of the season scored in the third period.

UNIONDALE, NY - Josef Boumedienne, called up last week for the injured Jim Vandermeer scored late in the third to hand the Bruins a 5-4 defeat.

Despite letting four past him in the game, Cam Ward put on a stunning display of acrobatic goaltending Monday evening to help his Islanders to a 5-4 victory over the slumping Boston Bruins.

Ward, who was named the game's third star kicked aside 35 of the 39 shots he faced Monday night as the Boston Bruins nearly eclipsed the 40-shot mark.

"They fired a ton of rubber at me tonight," the Islanders netminder said afterwards, "but sometimes that can actually help a goalie maintain his focus throughout the game."

Looking at the final score, one would predict a fairly even match-up, but in reality, the Islanders were badly outplayed by a dominant Boston team which just can't seem to string a few wins together.

After Robert Nilsson and Kyle Wellwood put the Islanders up 2-0, the Bruins evened the game thanks to markers from Pavol Demitra and Alexander Mogilny in the second period.

Jiri Hudler and Mike Weaver exchanged goals afterwards before Demitra would snap home his second of the game and 12th of the season in the third period giving the Bruins a 4-3 lead with 10 minutes to play in the game.

David Vyborny would tie the game shortly after, beating Jose Theodore with a quick shot through the legs and AHL call-up Josef Boumedienne's 1st of the season with 3 minutes to go sealed the fate for the Bruins.

The Islanders play tomorrow evening against the red-hot Ottawa Senators in Long Island.
