TAMPA, Fla. -- Sami Salo joked that as the shootout went on and on, one thing went through his mind: "Youve got to tie up your skates. I might get a chance." The 15-year NHL defenceman made the most of a rare shootout opportunity, scoring in the 13th round to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 3-2 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday night. "It just happened to go in," said Salo of his first successful shootout goal, coming in his third ever attempt. "It was obviously good for us. Its a good feeling." The shootout was tied at 4 through 12 rounds before Salo put a backhander past Evgeni Nabokov. Ben Bishop preserved the win by making a glove save on Johan Sundstrom. Ryan Callahan had two goals for the Lightning, who trail Montreal by two points for second place in the Atlantic Division. Tampa Bay, 6-0-4 in its last 10 games, has two games in hand on the Canadiens. "First and foremost, we got two points," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. "So, thats what we need out of the game. Were going to have to do better than that. Give the Islanders some credit, they played really hard. Definitely, there were positives in the game, but as a whole, were a better 5-on-5 team than we showed tonight." The Islanders, out of the playoff race, got goals from Ryan Strome and Matt Donovan. Right wing Kyle Okposo, who has a team-best 27 goals and 69 points, was a late scratch due to a lower body injury. "We are trying to play hard at this point of the season, and were trying to get better each and every day," Islanders defenceman Travis Hamonic said. "I thought we played a pretty good game." All three games between the teams this season were decided in a shootout, with the road team winning the first two. "I dont mind them when were winning," Callahan said. "When you lose them, you hate them." Callahan pulled the Lightning even at 2 on his second goal of the game, coming on a rebound 5:50 into the third. "We didnt have our best game, but really willed a way to win," Bishop said. Donovan put the Islanders up 2-1 while lunging forward in the slot at 9:17 of the second. It ended the defencemans 39-game goal drought. After Callahan redirected Radko Gudas shot past Nabokov just 29 seconds into the second, Strome put a shot past Bishop to tie it at 1 at 1:33. New York had a short-handed goal by Hamonic from centre ice waved off due to an offside call in the second. Hamonic stole Bishops errant long-range pass from the corner and put the puck into the vacated net. The Islanders failed to score during a 5-on-3 power play early in the third. Tampa Bay came up empty on a power play that covered the final 69 seconds of overtime. NOTES: Tampa Bay C Valtteri Filppula had an assist to extend his point streak (10 assists, 14 points) to 10 games. ...

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Jones said his XV reflected his expectation of a highly physical encounter against his home country. See Englands starting XV for the first Test against Australia and hear why Eddie Jones made those changes I picked a team specifically for the gameplan against Australia, he said. Its the first Test of the series, we know its going to be a physical game, weve picked a team that can cope with it.You can define teams as either streetfighters or boxers. Boxers tend to be more calculated whereas streetfighters come out and want to hit you and then they see where the weakness is. Australia is a streetfighter, they want to come out and hit us and see what reaction they get. Jones tells us why he had to make tough decisions ahead of the opening test with Australia in Brisbane Australia coach Michael Cheika has named three debutants in his side and Jones believes Englands chances rest on pushing Australia back and putting their inexperienced players under pressure.ddddddddddddIf we win the gain-line we will put Australia under a lot of pressure, some of their new caps may feel more pressure than theyve ever felt in their lives. Marland Yarde impressed against Wales and keeps his place England have won only three games in Australia - a record Jones is eager to improve in the coming weeks.If you look at Englands record in Australia its pretty ordinary, he told England Rugby. Its a great opportunity to put down a marker and create history. Its important we get off to a positive start and well arrive in Brisbane ready to play physical and aggressive rugby.Were excited to be playing against a strong Australian team in their backyard. The Wallabies are ranked second in the world and have the World Rugby coach of the year, so thats why they start as favourites. Theres a lot of expectation on them to win the series convincingly. We have a young squad with an average age of 24 so we are still developing and improving. Itll be a great challenge for us and one were looking forward to meeting head on.
