The goal all started from a face-off win by Phoenix forward Raphael Lafontaine, said Audette.
"I just went to the net and it turned out right in front of my stick and I just put it in."
The win improves the Phoenix to 15-9-0-2. The Islanders drop to 14-13-1-1 on the season.
Islanders forward Ross Johnston said the late goal hurts.
"We didn't lose the game in the last 15 seconds. I thought coming out for the third, even the second, we were too flat...we should have taken advantage of it earlier."
Sherbrooke battled back from a 2-0 deficit in the second period.
"I think we started off too slow but big comeback in the second and third and we were able to get that goal in the third," said Audette.
Johnston said the Islanders came out flat in the second period.
"When you come out flat against that team they'll capitalize on your mistakes."

The Islanders took a 2-0 lead at the 15-minute mark with a power play goal from Johnston. Daniel Sprong and Chlapik drew assists in Johnston's second of the season.
