02/11/2012 - Uniondale, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mark Streit netted the game-winning goal 96 seconds into overtime as the New York Islanders downed the Los Angeles Kings, 2-1.

Michael Grabner scored the lone goal in regulation for the Islanders, who bounced back from Thursday's loss to Montreal. Evgeni Nabokov stopped 34-of-35 shots to pick up the win.

Andrei Loktionov lit the lamp in regulation for the Kings, who are 1-4 on their six-game road trip and have tallied just four times during the stretch. Jonathan Quick made 23 saves.

On the game-winner, Streit skated down the middle of the ice and eluded Milan Jurcina in the high slot before snapping his backhander past Quick.

The Islanders struck first at the 6:52 mark of the opening period. Mark Eaton's slap shot from the top of the left circle was deflected in front of Quick. Grabner pounced on the loose disc in the crease and wristed it into the net.

Los Angeles tied the score on Loktionov's first tally of the season, 5:20 into the second. Rob Scuderi sent a slap shot on net from the top of the left circle and Loktionov put home the rebound.

Quick stopped 12 shots while Nabokov made 11 saves in the third period to send the game into overtime.

Game Notes

The Kings' road trip ends in Dallas on Sunday...Both teams were 0-for-2 on the power play...Grabner's goal was his 15th of the season...Los Angeles ranks last in the NHL with 116 goals.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
