Ryan Miller made 36 saves as the Buffalo Sabres rolled to another victory.
"We're just playing good hockey," said Miller, who's allowed just eight goals in five games to lead the NHL's stingiest defense. "I'm enjoying it, and I hope we can keep it up all year."
The Sabres are the only team left in the NHL without a regulation loss after the Stars fell to the Bruins.
The giant Tyler Myers scored his first NHL goal in the first to put the Sabres ahead 1-0. Later in the first Clarke MacArthur scored on a penalty shot after being hauled down by Mark Streit on a breakaway.
Tim Connolly opened the scoring in the second on a power play goal. The Islander's Matt Moulson would get this third of the season to bring the score to 3-1. The Sabres Jochen Hecht made it 4-1 halfway through and then 3 minutes later John Tavares scored on an Islanders power play to bring the Islanders within 2.
The third period saw a bit more back and forth as Buffalo's Patrick Kaleta scored followed shortly by the Islanders Andy Sutton. However, late in the third Jason Pominville would get his 100th career goal to seal the deal for the Sabres.
The Islanders were also winless in the fight department. In the first period Tim Jackman decided it would be a good idea to run at Ryan Miller. The Sabres Paul Gaustad did not approve:
The Sabres look to continue their winning streak when the Thrashers come to town tonight.
