PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The much-maligned Pittsburgh Penguins penalty killers provided the lift needed to back up an already-sizzling power play.The Penguins killed a lengthy 5-on-3 just minutes before Evgeni Malkin and Patric Hornqvist scored power-play goals 55 seconds apart in the second period, helping Pittsburgh hand the New York Islanders their first loss of the season, 3-1 on Saturday night.They took some heat the last three games, but certainly tonight they came through big time, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said of the penalty killers. That was the turning point in the game, that 5-on-3 kill.The Islanders (4-1), who came up empty during a 5-on-3 of their own in the second, were the Eastern Conferences last unbeaten team.If you go back and look at our record when we dont score a 5-on-3 goal, its not good, Islanders coach Jack Capuano said. We didnt capitalize on ours, and obviously they did. Thats the difference in the game.Hornqvist, who assisted on Malkins goal, added an empty-net tally with 1:20 left to seal the Penguins win. It is the first time Hornqvist has opened a season with points in four straight games. He has a total of eight points.Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby had two assists, including the 500th of his career. He joined Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr as the only Penguins with 500 assists, and he is the sixth-fastest to do it in NHL history.Marc-Andre Fleury made 30 saves as Pittsburgh recorded its fourth straight win over the Islanders and the eighth in nine meetings.Thomas Hickey staked the Islanders to a 1-0 lead in the first period, but New York failed to post its first 5-0 start. Jaroslav Halak stopped 35 shots.The Penguins penalty-killing unit, which ranked last in the league entering Saturday, went 6-for-6 and came up with two key third-period stops to protect a one-goal lead.That wasnt the case Thursday when Dallas scored the winning, power-play goal with 2.9 seconds left.The Penguins fended off the hard-charging Islanders, who nearly tied the game midway through the final period.I thought our penalty killers battled hard, Johnston said. (The Islanders) have a very good power play, but our penalty killers were outstanding.And they needed to be.The game was a matchup between the NHLs top two power-play units and bottom two penalty-killers.Pittsburgh entered with the best power play and worst penalty kill. The Islanders were second with the man advantage and 29th when short-handed.The teams combined for eight penalties in 9:32 in the second period, starting with the Penguins, who committed four penalties in 3:21. Pittsburgh killed the Islanders two-man advantage that spanned 1:26.The power play was ugly, Islanders captain John Tavares said. The second half of the game, we didnt generate much. We tried to mix things up, and it just seemed for whatever reason, we just werent sharp.The Penguins got the next two-man advantage after Cory Conacher was called for hooking, and the Islanders were then caught with too many men on the ice.Malkin tied it 1-1 at 13:49 when he put in a wrist shot from the left point, and then fired a drive that Hornqvist tipped past Halak with 5:16 left in the second.When you get a 5-on-3 like we had right after theirs, those are turning points, Johnston said. We scored and they didnt. That was the difference in the game.Pittsburgh outshot New York 16-10 in the opening period, but the Islanders held a one-goal lead.New York scored 5:46 in when Ryan Strome, on a rush down the right side, found the trailing Hickey, who wristed a shot over Fleurys shoulder.Special teams allowed the Penguins to make up the difference.We had to kill that 5-on-3. To get one of our own, put one in, and fire back to get another one was huge, Crosby said. We seemed to build a lot of momentum off of that.NOTES: Penguins F Pascal Dupuis played after leaving the ice on a stretcher on Thursday against Dallas when he was cross-checked and hit with a shot while he was down. ...

Sky Sports News HQ understands Mourinho is willing to accept suitable bids for the two players shortly after taking charge at Manchester United, with neither player fitting his physical profile for their respective positions.Sky Bet have wasted little time in pricing up where the duo will head next with some of Europes top sides expected to be alerted by their availability. Heres a look at their possible next clubs...Daley Blinds next club odds Blind has spent the majority of his season paired with Chris Smalling at centre-back Ajax (11/8 with Sky Bet)Blinds versatility is sure to appeal to plenty of clubs but a return to his first club Ajax is deemed most likely. The 26-year-old played over 100 times for the Dutch giants, winning the Eredivisie four times and being named Dutch Footballer of the Year in his final season before being sold to United.If appreciation of his talents and domestic silverware are his main desires then a return to the Amsterdam ArenA looks the right fit. However, much is likely to depend on the budget handed to their new manager Peter Bosz, who was appointed after Frank de Boer decided to leave following a failure to capture a fifth successive league title.Southampton (6/1)If Blind is looking to remain in England but under the guidance of another Dutchman then St Marys is the perfect place. The question is where hed fit into the Saints side, with right-back being their area of greatest need as Ryan Bertrand has the left side pinned down and defensive midfielders are plentiful.However, with Europa League football added to next seasons schedule, Ronald Koeman will undoubtedly be looking to add some depth to his talented squad this summer and Blinds versatility and quality would certainly enhance their cause. Blind admitted he was disappointed when Louis van Gaal left Everton (8/1)The Toffees are certainly in need of some fresh faces, especially if John Stones departs. An appointment of fellow Dutchman De Boer is sure to see Evertons odds of landing Blind tumble, although betting on the next manager at Goodison Park remains wide open. Other optionsValencia are next in the line in Sky Bets market, with Celtic, Schalke, Sevilla and Borussia Monchengladbach also considered possible destinations for Blind to compete in the Europa League next season.Juan Matas next club odds Mata scored six times for United as they finished fifth Valencia (3/1)Once again, it is a return to a first club looking most likely with Mata establishing himself as one of Europes most sought-after talents during his spell at the Mestalla.dddddddddddd While the Spaniard would surely welcome the adulation back at Valencia after lacking appreciation during his last few seasons in England, it remains to be seen whether hed be willing to join a side absent from Europe after finishing 12th in La Liga. Pako Ayestaran is also unlikely to have sufficient budget to match Matas wages, let alone Uniteds demands, even though their top-paid player Alvaro Negredo looks set to leave this summer.Sevilla (5/1)The Europa League champions look a more suitable fit in terms of aspirations, having booked their place in Europes top-tier tournament at the expense of Liverpool. They also need to boost their ranks having finished seventh in La Liga, winning just once on the road, but have been more renowned for their exporting and development of talent than buying stars in recent years.Much is also likely to depend on a potential shake up in their management ranks, with highly rated technical director Monchi reportedly considering an approach from Manchester United, while manager Unai Emery is second favourite for the Everton job. Mata failed to fit into Jose Mourinhos Chelsea system Chelsea (6/1)Could Mata return to the club which discarded him under Mourinho? The 28-year-old certainly impressed before the Special One took the reins, claiming their 2012/13 Player of the Year award and making the PFA Team of the Season. However, current boss Antonio Conte is renowned for a high-pressing and direct style of play, which might well count against the Spanish playmaker once again.PSG (6/1)PSG could also comfortably match Matas financial demands and are probably the side United will be most keen to receive interest from given their willingness to spend big. The French giants are likely to be linked with almost every top name around the continent this summer as they look to strengthen their chances of winning Europes top prize and replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Other optionsTwo of Spains top sides follow in the betting with Atletico Madrid 8/1 and Barcelona 10s. The latter seems a more natural technical fit for Mata, although it remains to be seen where he would fit into their star-studded side. Arsenals (12/1) style would also suit but Arsene Wenger will surely have higher priorities than adding more creativity to his squad, while United would presumably prefer to sell abroad.
