i missed out on habs over the weekend. all in on this one.

this is a tough one. The islander's at home, better record than cdns on road. But the cdn's have won all 3 meetings this year. The isle's just did put a beat down on the sens 4-1.

Who's Hot: Halak's back-to-back shutouts are the first by a Habs goalie since Cristobal Huet accomplished the feat in Feb. 2006. … Isles goalie Martin Biron is 6-0-2 in his last eight starts, while Tavares has 13 points in his last nine games. Sean Bergenheim has three goals in his last four contests and Blake Comeau has three straight multi-point efforts.

habs lose in shootout. at least they picked up a point.
i don't know what Martin was thinking using Lapierre as the first shooter. Isles deserved the win.
DAMN!
