NEWARK – Life without captain Anders Lee will not be easy for the Islanders.

But injuries bring opportunities, and Kieffer Bellows made the most of his as the rookie played for the first time in nearly a month.

Bellows scored twice within three minutes, 11 seconds in the third period, energizing the Islanders after two sluggish periods to a 3-2 win over the Devils on Saturday night at Prudential Center.
