It was another slow start for the New York Islanders, but luckily the Habs didn’t get many offensive chances either. Through one period the Islanders were leading in shots 8-6 but the game was scoreless.
That all changed in the second period. Just three minutes into the second period Paul Byron got Montreal on the board and broke the scoreless tie.
It would take the Islanders twelve minutes to answer back on a power play goal by the captain John Tavares.
Leave a loose puck laying around and @91Tavares is bound to bury it.
