Cornwall ON – How bad can a defense be when Alex Auld can get a win in net as the Montreal Canadiens back up got last night in Montreal’s 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders?
Benoit Pouliot, Tomas Plekanec, and Travis Moen hit the back of the net for Montreal. Hal Gill took on Matt Martin in a rumble too.
The Canadiens added to their lead at the top of the Conference.
In other NHL scores, Carolina edged the Rangers 4-3; Atlanta 4-3 over Buffalo in OT; Philly 3-2 over Pittsburgh; Edmonton scored early and often in the 7-4 shredding of the Black Hawks despite being out shot 41-22. Marty Brodeur got the win over Anaheim as the Devils beat the Ducks 2-1.
Shoot outs are down this year and I for one am happy. Leave them to the All Star Game or practice.

Les Canadiens are hot this year and will be even better when Markov comes back. let’s keep out fingers crossed regarding other injuries.
