BROOKLYN, N.Y. — When a team comes back from a 3-1 deficit, as the Montreal Canadiensdid in their 4-3 shootout win over the surging New York Islanders on Monday, it’s never just about one thing.
This game was no exception to that rule.
There were the key stops Antti Niemi made — a scrambling pad save on a second-period 2-on-1 chance for Mathew Barzal, then turning aside Anthony Beauvillier on a breakaway minutes later, and the five more he came up with in the shootout –
after allowing three goals on eight shots in the first period.
