The Habs came into Uniondale having lost its first regulation game in a long while to the Rangers and they were out for blood. Or they should have been.
The first period was pretty low energy from both teams but the Habs held the edge and Thomas Plekanec gave Montreal a 1-0 lead on a wrist shot over the shoulder of DiPietro in the Islanders net. The Islanders were badly outshot in the first period, not managing one shot for the last 15 minutes of the period.
New York came on with a little more strength in the second period but Christobal Huet shut the door when necessary, keeping the game scoreless. Thomas Plekanec netted his second goal of the game while the Islanders were on a powerplay looking to even the score, throwing another wrist shot on a great fake move.
The Islanders continued their mediocre pressure and did finally manage a goal when New York’s Park managed to stuff a rebound past Huet. That’s as far as the Islanders would get though as Alex Kovalev scored a late empty netter to seal the deal for the Habs.
GAME NOTES: Carey Price let in 7 goals on 31 shots in Hamilton on Tuesday, continuing his very shaky run.
