Game of the Night

         It was a back and forth affair between the Canadiens and Islanders in Brooklyn. Montreal continued their winning ways by breaking the tie late to grab their 5^th win in a row. The Islanders continue their early season struggles, but hope to turn things around soon.

         Paul Byron opened the scoring at 3:10 of the 1^st when he jammed home a rebound to give the Canadiens their first lead. At 15:17, John Tavares tallied a rebound goal of his own on the power play to tie it. The game remained very tight heading into the final period.

         At 11:21, Phillip Danault took advantage of another rebound when he potted a goal to regain the lead. The lead didn’t last very long. The Islanders would again tie it 3 minutes later when Dennis Seidenberg ripped a one-timer past former Islander goaltender Al Montoya. With time winding down, however, the Canadiens would have the last laugh.

         Shea Weber scored a power play goal with only 2:57 remaining when he sent a scorching shot past Greiss. At first glance, it would appear the game progressed with a seesaw fashion. Looks can often be deceiving, though, as the Canadiens never trailed during the game. This shows that they were in control almost the whole time and did not panic. This seems to be their recipe for success so far this season: not giving up and not panicking.
