    The New York Islanders started the day with the worst record in the Eastern Conference and then they lost their starting goalie in the first period.

    But Rick DiPietro made sure they didn't lose the most important thing, Thursday night's home game against the Montreal Canadiens.

    DiPietro made 24 saves in relief of injured starter Evgeni Nabokov, and Matt Moulson scored a key goal in the Islanders' 4-3 victory that broke a four-game skid.
