The Islanders don't have three coaches, but they showed Saturday night they can blow a lead as well as the Devils.
Tyler Ennis scored in a shootout for the Sabres as Buffalo rallied with three third-period goals to take a 4-3 victory and hand the Islanders their second straight loss, following a four-game win streak.
Nicolas Deslauriers, Zemgus Girgensons and Chris Stewart scored in a span of 5:12 in the third period to spoil Kevin Poulin's bid for a shutout in his season debut.
John Tavares scored twice, and Nick Leddy added a goal for the Islanders.
Poulin, who was recalled from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League on Saturday morning, had 23 saves. Poulin had been recalled Tuesday after Jaroslav Halak sustained a lower-body injury, but didn't play in the Islanders' 3-1 loss to the Canadiens. When the Isles placed Halak on injured reserve earlier Saturday, Poulin got the call again.
Mikhail Grigorenko set up Matt Moulson on top of the crease for the game's first chance, but Poulin squared up to stop Moulson's low shot.
The Islanders scored on their second shot of the game when Leddy's slap shot from the left point beat a partially screened Jhonas Enroth, who had 33 saves — 14 in the third period and three more in overtime.
Tavares made it 2-0 at the 11:56 mark of the second period with his 14th of the season. The captain stole the puck at the left circle and caught Enroth deep in the goal with a high backhand flip.
Tavares added his 15th on a cross-crease pass from Josh Bailey at 15:05.
Poulin made a right pad save on Cody Hodgson's open one-time shot from the slot a minute later to keep the score 3-0.
Patrick Kaleta took a diving shot about 5 minutes into the third period, but Poulin was able to push it wide with his blocker.
