The New York Islanders' winless streak reached five games on Friday night, as the Isles dropped the second game of a home-and-home set to the Montreal Canadiens 6-3 at Barclays Center.
Tanner Fritz, Josh Bailey and Brock Nelson scored, but the Islanders played catchup on the scoreboard all night, getting into a tie game three times, but never taking the lead. Tied 3-3 in the third period, Paul Byron and Noah Juulsen scored goals 1:43 apart to give the Canadiens the lead for good, while Alex Galchenyuk's empty-netter completed his hat-trick (3G, 1A) and accounted for the final scoreline.
Recap: Canadiens 6, Islanders 3
The Islanders winless streak extends to five games with loss to Montreal
