UNDATED (AP) — The New York Islanders’ misery continues.

The Islanders tied the game at 2-all with four seconds left in the third period, but Blackhawks netminder Marc-Andre Fleury denied all three Islanders chances once it got to the shootout.

Canucks dump 3 execs, coach, name veteran Boudreau coach
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The Vancouver Canucks cleaned house late Sunday night, dumping three executives and head coach Travis Green and replacing him with veteran Bruce Boudreau.
The Canucks say general manager Jim Benning, assistant manager Jim Weisbrod, Green and assistant coach Nolan Baumgartner were all fired.
The changes follow a dismal performance Saturday in which the Pittsburgh Penguins routed the Canucks 4-1, and the home crowd booed and chanted of “fire Benning!”
