NEW YORK -- Shea Weber scored a power-play goal with 2:57 remaining in the third period to give the Montreal Canadiens a 3-2 win against the New York Islanders at Barclays Center on Wednesday.
Weber scored 55 seconds after Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy was called for slashing, one-timing a pass from defenseman Jeff Petry over the right shoulder of goalie Thomas Greiss.
"We got our one opportunity tonight and we were able to get the goal at the big moment in the game," Weber said. "The power play should be a difference-maker, the penalty kill the same thing. You've got to be able to win your team games at times, and tonight we were able to do that."
