Islanders' third period rally against defending champion Golden Knights falls just short

NEW YORK -- Adin Hill made 40 saves in his return from an injury, and the Vegas Golden Knights defeated the New York Islanders 3-2 on Tuesday night.

Ivan Barbashev and Nicolas Roy each had a goal and an assist for Vegas. Sheldon Rempal also scored, and the defending Stanley Cup champions rebounded from a 6-5 overtime loss Monday at New Jersey. Alex Pietrangelo added two assists.

Hill made his first start since Dec. 17 after missing 22 games with a lower-body injury.
