Ryan Miller made 24 saves for his second shutout of the season and 14th overall, and Thomas Vanek had a goal and assist in the Buffalo Sabres' 3-0 victory over the visiting New York Islanders last night.

Derek Roy and Paul Gaustad also scored to help the Sabres rebound from a 5-0 loss to the Islanders Saturday on Long Island. Miller was solid throughout, and rarely allowed any rebound opportunities. The Sabres have the stingiest defense in the NHL, allowing only 24 goals in 12 games.

"We did a very sound job pushing the puck up the ice, and we didn't give up anything that was too dangerous," Miller said. We want to be a team that's in control."

Former Sabres and Flyers goalie Marty Biron made 36 saves for the Islanders.

In other games:

* At Newark, N.J., Niclas Bergfors and Zach Parise scored power-play goals 3 minutes, 13 seconds apart in the third period to send the New Jersey Devils to a 3-2 victory over the Alex Ovechkin-less Washington Capitals.

* At Sunrise, Fla., Tomas Vokoun made 31 saves for his second straight shutout, Steven Reinprecht opened the scoring early in the third period, and the Florida Panthers extended Carolina's winless streak to 10 games with a 3-0 victory over the Hurricanes.

* At Columbus, San Jose defenseman Dan Boyle scored the lone goal in a shootout to give the Sharks their sixth straight win, 3-2, over the Blue Jackets.

* At Dallas, Jarome Iginla scored on a power play at 1:25 of overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 3-2 comeback victory over the Stars.

* At Denver, Marek Svatos, David Jones and Milan Hejduk scored third-period goals to lead the Colorado Avalanche to a 4-1 win over the Phoenix Coyotes.

Noteworthy

* Rangers forward Dane Byers was suspended one game for his role in a fight during the third period of Monday's game in Vancouver, and coach John Tortorella was fined $10,000.
