If not for Carey Price, the score would have been extremely lopsided Thursday night.
The Islanders outshot and outplayed the Canadiens in this game.
Andrew Ladd scored on Price in the 13th minute of the first period.
Shea Weber managed to tie the game in the second period, getting past Thomas Greiss on a power play.
But the Islanders kept up the pressure throughout the game, outshooting the Canadiens 29-12 by the end of the second period. It was 42-21 by the end of the game.
In the third period, those shots kept coming and Price was unable to stop two of them.
Ladd scored again, his tenth goal of the year, to give the Islanders the lead.
With five minutes left to play Josh Bailey fired from a face-off and found the back of the net to make it 3-1 for the Islanders.
