UNIONDALE, N. Lance Moore .Y. -- In one room, there was confusion, frustration and anger. In the other, smiles and good feeling. For a change, the positive vibes come from the New York Islanders side of the hallway. Matt Martin scored his second game-winning goal in his three-year NHL career, and the Islanders shook off a slow start and routed the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 on Tuesday night. The Islanders are 4-1-2 in their past seven games. "Its been a great week, but weve still got a lot of work to do," said John Tavares, who had a goal and an assist. "We have to raise our game." Milan Jurcina, David Ullstrom and Matt Moulson -- the NHLs first star of last week -- also scored for New York. Ullstroms goal was his first in the NHL. Al Montoya made 23 saves. "We just have to keep trying to find ways to win," said Islanders captain Mark Streit, who had two assists. Fourteen of New Yorks 18 skaters had at least one shot on goal, led by Moulsons eight. Moulson also had two points, and nine Islanders reached the score sheet. "The team is invested and it shows," coach Jack Capuano said. Martin St. Louis gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead, but the Islanders led 3-1 before the first period ended. Mathieu Garon stopped 29 shots. Tampa Bay, which has lost five in a row, leads New York by only one point for 13th place in the Eastern Conference. "Pretty down," St. Louis said of the Lightnings mood. "Its tough when youre in a down spiral like this. Were a fragile team." The Islanders have outscored opponents 19-13 the past six games. Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead on its first shot when St. Louis tipped Brett Clarks point drive past Montoya 6:55 in for his ninth goal this season. New York then took control. Tavares tied it with a wrist shot from the right circle at 14:01, splitting two defenders before ripping in his ninth goal. "Were fine up a goal, were going good, we scored (then) they scored and (we) just collapsed," St. Louis said. "Just a beating after that." Martin slammed Tim Wallaces feed from behind the net under Garon to give New York a 2-1 lead with 1:34 left in the first. That turned out to be the game-winning goal. Martins other winner was scored against the Lightning last season. Wallace earned his first NHL assist, and finished plus-2 in 9:37 of ice time. Jurcina concluded the outburst by completing a passing sequence that included Frans Nielsen and Streit, who tapped a shot past Garon with 5.5 seconds left in the period. "Everyones a little more confident," Martin said. "Were making no-look passes and theyre working." Garon kept the Lightning in the game as he helped kill three straight Islanders power plays in the second period, but Tampa Bay couldnt muster any more offence. "We score the first goal, but we were a second behind on every play, even when we scored," Lightning coach Guy Boucher said. "I knew we were in trouble. Tonight, we didnt get chances." Ullstrom pushed the lead to 4-1 when he drove to the net and shoved Josh Baileys pass under Garon 3:19 into the third. "It was huge," Ullstrom said of his first goal. "It was a great pass by Josh." Moulsons power play goal at 17:25 was his 14th of the season. Moulson has scored in five straight games, including a four-goal performance Saturday night in New Yorks 5-4 win at Dallas. New York was 2-for-5 on the power play and killed all three Tampa Bay advantages. "We would have needed a bit of luck on our power play to score. Didnt happen," Boucher said. "Our power play is in a drought and thats the big difference in our team this year, the power play is not doing well at all."
