Witt scores twice as Islanders beat Oilers

Brendan Witt was already having the game of his life when chants of his name echoed around Nassau Coliseum.

The hard-hitting defenseman had two goals in the bank when fans clamored for more in the final minute of the New York Islanders' 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. The net at the other end was empty, and Witt had a chance at a most-improbable hat trick.
