Hamrlik scores in OT to give Canadiens fourth straight win, 3-2 over Islanders

Roman Hamrlik scored 1:32 into overtime and the Montreal Canadiens extended their winning streak to four games with a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Monday night.

Hamrlik took Tomas Plekanec's centering flip pass from the right side on a 2-on-1 and put a shot into the open left side.

Jeff Tambellini drew New York even for the second time 15:24 into the third with his second power-play goal of the game.

Jaroslav Halak made 29 saves in his fourth straight start for the Canadiens (6-5-0), who finished a 4-2 homestand.

Travis Moen, who assisted on Jaroslav Spacek's goal in the first, got his third goal 7:44 into the third period to put the Canadiens up 2-1. Glen Metropolit assisted on both Montreal goals.
