The Islanders have been as big a surprise as the Canadiens in the early going. The goalies: The Canadiens are looking at their first back-to-back games of the season, and that means the goalies will probably share the work. Look for backup Antti Niemi to get the start against the Islanders with Carey Price facing the Rangers on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. Domi scored his seventh goal of the season Saturday and he leads the Canadiens with 13 points. Life without Tavares: The Islanders have survived the loss of captain John Tavares, who jumped to the Maple Leafs in the off-season.
