No wonder Nathan Lawson looked right at home. That's exactly where he was. Lawson, a Calgary native, made 28 saves in relief of injured starter Rick DiPietro and the surging New York Islanders beat the Flames 5-2 on Monday night. John Tavares had two goals and an assist, Matt Moulson also scored twice and the Islanders (12-19-6) improved to 7-1-1 in their past nine games. "It was awesome, that's all I can say," said Lawson, who had family and friends in attendance. "It was better for me that they got lots of shots there. It got me into the game right away." Michael Grabner scored New York's fifth goal into an empty net, while Andrew MacDonald and P.A. Parenteau each had two assists. DiPietro made 13 saves before leaving because of a lower-body injury with the Islanders up 4-1 in the second period. He was credited with the win. After the game, DiPietro described his injury as a "little tweak" and wasn't sure how long he would be out -- if at all. He will be re-examined Tuesday. He hurt himself sliding across the crease to try to stop a shot from Jarome Iginla, which whistled off the crossbar. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=310103003
