Crombeen scored on an empty net assisted by Adam Hall and Nate Thompson (who had 3 points on the night) to only lose 5-2.The Devils have to really be missing Brodeur right now cause Hedberg sucks and they pulled him in favor of Keith Kinkaid 33 minutes into last night's game.
The Canadiens' Tomas Plekanec opened up scoring 5 minutes into the game but that was about the end of Montreal's fortunes. Matt Moulson, Matt Martin, and Michael Grabner all scored for the Islanders in the second before P.K. Subban answered back for the Canadiens to make it 3-2.
