PHOENIX -- Keith Tkachuk scored a power-play goal with 5:20 remaining as the Phoenix Coyotes beat the New York Islanders 4-2 Sunday, extending their home unbeaten streak to 11 games.

Greg Adams had a goal and an assist and Juha Ylonen and Bob Corkum added goals for the Coyotes.Mark Lawrence scored his first career goal and Eric Brewer added another goal for the Islanders, who had their three-game unbeaten string stopped.

Tkachuk missed the previous two games, both losses, because of a sore groin. He put Phoenix ahead 3-2 when he redirected Deron Quint's shot from the top of the circle past Tommy Salo for his 16th goal of the season and fourth goal in his last seven games.

Corkum added an empty-net goal with 30.1 seconds to play.

Brewer tied it at 2 at 9:06 of the third period when he backhanded a soft shot behind Nikolai Khabibulin. The Coyotes' power play, which had gone scoreless in the last four games, also produced the game's first goal.

Salo came to the top of the crease and made the initial stop on Jyrki Lumme's shot from the left faceoff circle, but the puck trickled off Salo's right pad into the crease. Adams skated in to flip the puck into the net to put Phoenix up 1-0 at 16:37 of the first period.

Just 64 seconds later, Lawrence took a pass from Claude Lapointe and flipped the puck between Khabibulin's pads from the right faceoff circle.

Ylonen put Phoenix back in front 2-1 at 2:10 of the second period when he took a back pass from Adams between the circle to beat a sliding Salo for his second goal of the season.

Phoenix, which entered the game with the league's 23rd-rated power play unit, finished with two goals in six chances with a man advantage.
