Big point slipped away in New York for the Habs

Dose
Crédit:

After a strong emotional win against the Senators on Tuesday, the habs were back in action.

Another big game against a direct opponent.

This time, the Islanders were the opponent. Here are the lineups :

New York has the worst powerplay, but that didn’t stop the team from opening the scoring on the powerplay.

Anthony Duclair made Samuel Montembeault look bad at the mouth of the goal.

Recently, despite being behind by a few goals, the habs never give up.

It’s not a goal against the Islanders that will make the Habs nervous. Joshua Roy scored his first goal since March 12, 2024.

In the second period, Nick Suzuki thought he had given the habs the lead, but there was an offside on the sequence.

Very tight.

The Islanders’ goals, however, are accepted.

Still on the powerplay, before the end of the second period, Simon Holmstrom gave his team the lead again.

Then, in the third period, Bo Horvat hurt the habs by scoring the team’s third goal.

3-1.

A little later, the Islanders took a very bad penalty.

The visitors took advantage of it to score a big goal. And despite Roy’s protest, this time the goal was awarded.

>Last Saturday, against the Panthers, this goal would have been disallowed. I don’t understand anymore…

The locals seemed to be heading for a win, but with a little over five minutes left in the game, Gally (who else?) sent everyone into overtime. A big point in the bank for both teams.

Final score: 4-3 Islanders, who won in overtime thanks to a second goal from Bo Horvat.

Not the most glorious sequence for Lane Hutson… Big point lost.

Martin St-Louis’ team will be back in action on Saturday against the Avalanche, who just crushed the Senators, at the Bell Centre.

Overtime

– The Canadiens dominated in terms of shots on goal 41-25. Ilya Sorokin was on fire all night.

– More fear than harm.

– I would have liked to see the habs more aggressive on the penalty kill against this powerplay…

– Ouch!
