While in the midst of Week 4, Montreal snags the highly-coveted top spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com, while NY lags just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Canadiens (1): "With Carey Price out, the Canadiens get to prove they're more than just their Hart and Vezina Trophy-winning goalie. Rookie backup Michael Condon is already 4-0-0 on the season, and the Canadiens are getting offense from everywhere, which is why they're second at 3.85 goals per game."

Record: 11-2-1 (1st in Atlantic Division).

Islanders (11): "With John Tavares out with illness this weekend, the Isles dropped home games to the Devils and Sabres, which in turn made Islanders fans ill."

Record: 7-3-3 (2nd in Metropolitan Division).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels RDS, MSG+, and CiTV.
