The Islanders kept looking to build off their past two games as they welcomed the Canadiens to Barclays Center. Mathew Barzal was back in the lineup with Nikolay Kulemin day to day while the team faced old friend Al Montoya instead of Carey Price who has given them fits in recent years. A good challenge early in the season, the Isles fell short 3-2. They are right back at it tomorrow night in Pittsburgh for their first meeting of the season with the defending Stanley Cup champs.

Good early pressure by #Isles top line

That move by Brock Nelson was NHL94 like. You know, the wraparound that always worked. Except he was stopped by Montoya. #Isles #Canadiens

Really liked what I've seen from 72-29-27 so far. Speedy, energetic and a bit physical #isles
