(AP) - Bryan Trottier scored the New York Islan- ders' third powerplay goal of the game at 7:18 of the third period last night, leading the two-time defending National Hockey League champions to a 6-4 victory over the Vancouver Canucks and a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup final. the Islanders moved within two vic- tories of becoming the first U.S.-based team to win the Stanley Cup three years in a row. The third and fourth contests in the best-of-seven series, will be played in Vancouver Thursday and Sunday. TROTTIER'S GOAL broke a 4-4 tie and came after Toma Jonsson had sent a shot off the end boards. The puck caromed directly to Trottier to the left of Canucks goalie Richard Brodeur. With Brodeur flat on the ice, Trot- tier deposited a 15-foot wrist shot'into the net. Bob Nystrom added an insurance tally with 5:50 left. Nystrom's original shot was blocked, but he got the puck back and put it over Brodeur's left shoulder., IT WAS the second straight close game the Canucks-who finished the regular season 41 points behind New York-had given the Islanders. The champions won the first game 6-5 in overtime. Defenseman Lars Lindgren had given the Canucks a 3-2 lead at 19:42 of the second period. But the Islanders turned it around in the first 1:19 of the third period. Bourne notched New York's second power-play goal of the night and fifth of the series 32 seconds into the period. Bourne, standing 10 feet to the left of Brodeur, took a pass from Stefan Per- sson and put a wrist shot past Brodeur's stick. Big Teft approves new three-point shot DUBLIN, Ohio (AP)- The Big Ten will experiment with a three-point goal in all of its conference basketball games next season, Commissioner Wayne Duke announced yesterday. None-conference opponents will have the option of using the three-point basket in games with Big Ten teams, and some already have indicated their willingness to do so, Duke said. THE BIG Ten commissioner said the conference athletic directors, meeting in this Columbus suburb this week, had approved a recommendation made earlier 4gy basketball coaches. He said that after the-directors took their action Monday, he consulted with Ed Steitz, athletic director at Springfield College and secretary of the NCAA Basketball Rules Committee. He said Steitz reacted en- thusiastically and gave permission for the experiment. UNDER THE experiment, field goals made from beyond a 21-foot range will be worth three points instead of two. The distance compares to the 23-foot, 9- inch range used for three-point goals in the National Basketball Association. Duke said nine of the coaches in the conference favored the 21-foot distance, while the other wanted 22 feet.

But conference spokesman Jeff Elliot said he was contacted later and voiced his support. Duke said it was too early to speculate as to how many non- conference opponents would decide to go along with the three-point play in games with Big Ten teams. But he said Hank Raymonds of Marquette and Gene Sullivan of Loyola of Chicago already had said they would, "and I anticipate other institutions will do so as well." PURDUE Athletic Director George King, a former basketball coach, joined Duke at the news conference announ- cing the experiment and said he thought it would help open up the game and create more action. King said he was a little surprised that the coaches had made the recom- mendation, and with such a strong en- dorsement. "The Big Ten has really been a very defensive-oriented type of basketball game the last number of years, and this seems to me to be kind of the opposite trend to it," he said.- "But I was really pleased to see it. Like many directors and many coaches around the country, I was getting to the point of being very concerned about what seemed to be a national trend toa slowdown game." eRPh VANCOUVER'S CURT FRASER leaps over the pads of New York goalie Billy Smith as Smith makes a backhanded stop of Fraser's shot in the first period last night.

SPORTS OF THE DAILY: I LOS ANGELES (AP)- World Boxing Association heavyweight champion Mike Weaver was forced yesterday to postpone his title defense against Ran- dy "Tex" Cobb because of a left shoulder injury suffered in a gym workout. "I injured the. muscle three weeks ago lifting weights," Weaver said. "A doctor told me to rest a couple of days and it would be all right. "BUT WHILE I was training at Lake Tahoe, it began to hurt again so I came home to have examinations." He said doctors told him that he' probably would be able to fight Cobb in July. His title defense had been scheduled June 2 in Atlantic City, N.J., and would net him $1 million. Dr. Bernhart Schwartz, physician for the California Athletic Commission, examined Weaver and said the boxer was unable to move his left shoulder or turn his head without pain.
