Islanders face Canadiens at Barclay's Center

The New York Islanders (3-3-0) the Montreal Canadiens (5-0-1) on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center.

Thomas Greiss will start in goal for the Islanders on Wednesday and the defense corps will stay the same, according to head coach Jack Capuano. The forward lines hinge on whether or not Nikolay Kulemin will be ready to go for the Islanders.

The Canadiens have an NHL-best 11 points, the only team without a regulation loss and lead the league in goals for (3.83) and goals against per game (1.50).

Former-Islander Al Montoya starts in between the pipes for the Canadiens on Wednesday night. Montoya has gone 2-0-1 with a 1.30 goals-against average, a .962 save percentage and one shutout. Montoya is 3-0-0 against the Islanders in his career.
