Bryan Rust netted the overtime winner as the Pittsburgh Penguins put an end to the New York Islanders' 10-game win streak with a 4-3 victory Thursday night.

Rust's marker was the Penguins' fourth straight goal. Pittsburgh scored three times in a 7:10 span during the third period.

The Islanders lost for the first time since they fell 5-2 to the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 11.

Pittsburgh has snapped the two longest win streaks in Islanders' history. The Penguins also ended New York's 15-game run in 1981-82.

The Islanders dropped to 11-3-1 this season, while Pittsburgh improved to 9-6-1.
