A tough loss for the Habs to swallow.
Adam Pelech also scored in the second period to help the Islanders win for the fourth time in five games to remain two points behind first-place Washington in the Metropolitan Division.
Lee converted on a 2-on-1 with Matthew Barzal for his team-leading 25th goal of the season with 2:57 remaining. Lee waited patiently for Barzal to pass him the puck at the edge of the left circle before whipping it past Price. Lee, who became the team’s captain this season following the departure of John Tavares, has seven goals in the last 13 games.
After a scoreless first period, Pelech put the Islanders ahead with his fifth of the season at 1:20 of the second. Brock Nelson and Andrew Ladd assisted.
