* Crossman, Lightning strike Islanders in OT

Doug Crossman completed a six-point performance with his third goal at 1:16 of
overtime, giving the Tampa Bay Lightning a 6-5 victory over the New York
Islanders on Saturday Night.

Pierre Turgeon's penalty-shot goal with 6.9 seconds left in regulation sent the
game into overtime for the Islanders.

But Crossman silenced the crowd and completed his first career hat trick when
he wristed a 15-footer past Mark Fitpatrick from the slot during a delayed
penalty.

Referee Richard Trottier awarded New York the penalty shot when a Tampa Bay
defenseman was called for covering the puck in the crease. Turgeon skated to
about 10 feet and beat Pat Jablonski easily with a high wrist shot.

It was the Islanders' first successful penalty shot since Anders Kallur
scored against Winnipeg on Dec. 14, 1980.

Crossman was traded by the Islanders to Hartford in November 1990 and later
was sent to Detroit before taken by Tampa Bay in the expansion draft. His
skills at quarterbacking the power play helped the Lightning score four times
in five tries with the man advantage.

Defenseman Bob Beers scored twice in a 1:46 span late in the first period as
the Lightning cashed in both ends of a two-man advantage. Crossman also set up
Brian Bradley's power-play goal early in the second period and scored his
second goal 25 seconds into the final period.

Tampa Bay improved to 6-8-2 and is 2-0-1 in its last three gammes. The
Islanders lost their fourth consecutive game.

The Islanders, coming off back-to-back shutouts on the road, snapped a
scoreless string of 146:30 when Vladimir Malakhov's power-play slap shot ticked
off a stick and flew past Jablonski at 12:21 of the opening period. The goal
also ended the Islanders' 0-for-18 drought with the man advantage.

With the Lightning skating 5-on-3, Beers drilled a slap shot from the left
point past a shaky Mark Fitzpatrick to tie the score at 17:14. Beers then
played catch with Crossman before connecting from the right point to give
Tampa Bay the lead.

The advantage didn't last long, though, as Turgeon's superb pass from the right
wing set up David Volek's first goal of the season, a tap-in at 19:42.

But Tampa Bay came out flying in the second period and went ahead at 5:04 when
Bradley, cutting in the slot, one-timed Crossman's perfect feed.

Crossman made it 4-2 about 6 1/2 minutes later when he shot the puck at the
net from the right point and it deflected off the Islanders' Ray Ferraro.

Manon Rheaume of the Atlanta Knights became the first woman to suit up for a
regular-season professional hockey game. The 20-year-old goalie from Quebec
did not play in Atlanta's 3-2 overtime loss to Cincinnati in the IHL game
Friday night. "I've waited 20 years to get this far in hockey, and I can wait
a few more if that's what it takes," said Rheaume, who played in the exhibition
season for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Rheaume signed a 3-year contract Wednesday.
