Former Devil Zach Parise scored the tying goal midway through the third period, then added another in the shootout to help the Wild beat the Islanders 2-1 Tuesday night at Nassau Coliseum for their 10th straight road win.
Parise's shootout try hit the post to the right of Jaroslav Halak and trickled in after it bounced off the goalie's leg.
John Tavares broke a scoreless tie late in the second period when he jammed his team-best 34th goal of the season past Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk at 19:36. Kyle Okposo and Anders Lee assisted. The point was the 300th of Okposo's career.
Tavares, who hadn't scored in five games, is trying to beat out Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin for the NHL lead in points. Tavares also has 40 assists.
Tavares, Okposo and Frans Nielsen all failed to convert in the shootout for the Islanders. Dubnyk made 37 saves in his 32nd straight start for the Wild.
Parise tied the game at 11:45 of the third with his 29th goal. Jason Pominville and Mikko Koivu had the assists.
The Islanders (44-25-9) had the better of play for most the game, outshooting the Wild 16-5 in the first period and finishing with a 38-32 advantage. Nevertheless, Minnseota improved to 42-25-7.
Halak, who had 31 saves, was strong again after he shut out the Devils on Saturday to end a four-game losing streak for the Islanders. He denied Pominville with a sliding stop midway through the second and stopped former Islander Thomas Vanek on a breakaway early in overtime.
Before the game, the Islanders honored Hall of Famer center Pat Lafontaine, who scored 287 goals for the team from 1984-91.
