New York is scheduled to start Mikko Koskinen for the second consecutive game after the 22-year-old stopped 21 of 26 shots in Tuesday’s 5-3 loss to Toronto in his NHL debut. Joel Martin, who has yet to appear in an NHL game, will be Koskinen’s backup. The Canadiens are 14-2-2 the last 18 meetings with the Islanders at Bell Centre, winning the last three there. They’re also 12-1-3 over the past 16 overall matchups, but fell 4-1 at New York on Dec. 26. Koskinen was pressed into duty after fellow rookie Kevin Poulin suffered a dislocated left knee cap during pregame warmups Tuesday.
Despite allowing a career high in goals, Price is tied for the NHL lead with a personal-best 26 wins. His 2.43 goals-against average is the lowest of his four-season career. Montreal has followed a three-game winning streak with consecutive losses, but the latest effort was one of its worst this season. The Canadiens gave up a season high in goals Wednesday, falling 8-6 at Boston in a game marred by seven game misconducts and 182 penalty minutes, including seven to Price for fighting Bruins’ goalie Tim Thomas. It’s unclear if he’ll be back in net or if backup Alex Auld will get the nod. Auld is 3-0-0 with a 2.38 GAA in his last four starts, and made 30 saves in a 3-1 road win over New York on Oct. 29.
