I certainly like Tavares, Moulson, Okposo and Grabner.

Anyways they're up 4-3 against the Habs.

They are a decent team and their coach, Jack Capuano, has done an excellent job. Give Garth Snow credit for obtaining Nabokov, he is playing well in goal.

The Islanders won 6-3 and Price did not play well for the Habs. The win puts the Islanders just two points back of the eighth place Rangers.
