Canadiens, Islanders do battle for first time this season

Dec 7, 2006 - 3:15 PM Montreal (15-8-4) at NY Islanders (14-10-3) 7:30 pm EST

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) - The Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders meet for the first time this season Thursday.

The Canadiens posted a 3-1-0 record against the Islanders during the 2005-06 campaign.

Montreal looks to rebound from a two-game skid. It endured a 2-1 overtime loss to New Jersey on Wednesday when Patrik Elias scored the game-ending goal in the extra session.

Radek Bonk tallied and Alexander Perezhogin had an assist while David Aebischer turned away 29 shots for the Canadiens, who were outshot, 31-19.

The Islanders are coming off a 4-2 setback to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday. Andy Hilbert netted his first goal of the season and Jason Blake tallied for the 15th time this campaign for New York, which went 0-for-6 on the power play.

Mike Dunham denied 31 shots for the Islanders, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.
