Miami (AP) - Nathan Horton's wrist shot beat Dwayne Roloson in the fourth shootout round to lift the Florida Panthers past the New York Islanders 5-4 on Saturday night.

Cory Stillman, Rostislav Olesz, Stephen Weiss and Michael Frolik scored in regulation for the Panthers. Tomas Vokoun made 36 saves.

Tim Jackman, Trent Hunter, John Tavares and Kyle Okposo had the goals for New York. Roloson stopped 38 shots for the Islanders, who played for the third time in four nights. New York (7-6-7) won at Carolina in overtime on Friday night.

Okposo could have forced a fifth shootout round after Horton scored, but Vokoun made the save.
