Patrick Roy loses return game

There was a flare of media and social interest Thursday night as Patrick Roy returned to Montreal at the helm of the Islanders, but his team lost 4‑3 to the Canadiens, denying him the triumph.

Further news from that match: the Canadiens’ Brendan Gallagher has been suspended for five games because of an illegal check to the head of the Islanders’ Adam Pelech.
