NEW YORK -- Shea Weber came through with a late goal to get the NHL-leading Montreal Canadiens another big win.Webers power-play goal with 2:57 remaining lifted the Canadiens to their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night. Paul Byron and Phillip Danault also scored to help Montreal improve to 6-0-1 and remain the only team in the NHL without a regulation loss.Its still early but weve done some good things so far, Weber said after getting his third goal and ninth point since being acquired in a big offseason trade with Nashville. Got to keep winning games. It doesnt mean anything if we lose two, three in a row. We got to keep getting better every night.Al Montoya, who played for the Islanders from 2010-12, stopped 26 shots in his first start since Oct. 18 as the Canadiens beat New York for the seventh straight time.We had a slow start. Montoya played well for us, great in the first, Weber said. We came on maybe in the last five, six minutes of the first, played better after that. He made some big saves at the end of the third before we were able to score on the power play.John Tavares and Dennis Seidenberg scored for New York and Thomas Greiss had 26 saves in his second straight start and third of the season. The Islanders lost for the second time on a five-game homestand.With the Islanders Nick Leddy off for slashing, Weber took a pass from defenseman Jeff Petry and fired a shot from the point for the tiebreaking goal. It was just the second power-play goal in 23 opportunities given up by New Yorks league-leading penalty-killing unit.I knew (Petry) was going to pass it over, Weber said. It was kind of rolling, so I just wanted to make sure I got good wood on it. I think (Islanders defenseman Travis) Hamonic went down in front of the goal and it just found a way through.Danault gave the Canadiens a 2-1 lead with 8:39 remaining. He deflected the rebound of a shot by Torrey Mitchell past Greiss for his second of the season and sixth of his career.Seidenberg tied it with 5:44 to go with a one-timer from above the right faceoff circle.Andrew Shaw had breakaway for Montreal less than a minute later but fired his shot wide of the net.Alex Galchenyuk nearly gave the Canadiens the lead about 6 minutes into the third, but his shot hit the crossbar.Montreal came out more aggressive in the second period and outshot New York 12-5. The Canadiens took a 1-0 lead early in the middle period as Brendan Gallaghers wrister from the right side was stopped by Greiss, but the rebound went past New York defenseman Travis Hamonic in front and Byron fired it in at 3:10.Montreal had another great chance more than a minute later but Greiss made a sprawling save on Artturi Lehkonen.Second period (was) probably our worst period of the season, Tavares said. We responded in the third and gave ourselves a chance and we just didnt get it done.Tavares tied it for the Islanders with 4:47 left in the second on a power play with Lehkonen off for high-sticking. Nick Leddy fired a point shot from inside the blue line through traffic that bounced off a screened Montoya. Andrew Ladd knocked Alexei Emelins stick off the puck and Tavares came in and fired it past the Montoya from the right side for his fourth of the season.New Yorks Anthony Beauvillier blocked a slap shot from Greg Pateryn on his right leg with about 1:48 left in the middle period and was down for several minutes before being helped off the ice to the dressing room. He returned for the start of the third.The Islanders controlled the play for most of the scoreless opening period, outshooting the Canadiens 8-6.Game notes Montreals Tomas Plekenec played in his 850th game, two behind Mario Tremblay for 17th place on the franchise list. ...

Air Max 720 Sale .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Matt Forte has his sights set on the regular season.The New York Jets running back just needs his hamstring to be ready, too.Despite growing concerns over the health of one of the Jets key players on offense, Forte is confident hell be able to play in the season opener against Cincinnati on Sept. 11.Ill be available, Forte said Tuesday. Definitely.Forte tweaked a hamstring while running on his own before camp opened nearly three weeks ago and hasnt fully participated in a practice during training camp. He did individual drills Tuesday, though, as he did Sunday. The Jets were off Monday, but it marked consecutive practices that the 30-year-old running back was on the field.Forte had not done positional drills since Aug. 2 before working in the past two practices.Its taken longer than I expected just because were being super, super cautious about it, he said. At this point, theres no reason to rush back out there. I got a lot of reps in the offseason. I know the offense. By watching in camp, I know it a lot more. It doesnt take that long to get back into it. So, Im looking forward to being on the practice field soon.Forte, signed as a free agent in March after eight seasons in Chicago, is uncertain whether he will be able to play in any preseason games. He would like to see a few snaps against the Giants on Aug. 27, the last game most of the teams starters will play.In the last five, six years, Ive never played a ton in the preseason, Forte said. As long as Im out at practice, I think Ill be fine.But, if he misses the game against the Giants, too, hes not overly concerned that he wont be ready when the games start to count.Forte has run for 8,602 yards and 45 touchdowns in his caareer, and caught 487 passes for 4,116 yards and 19 scores during his career.dddddddddddd He is coming off a career-low 898 yards rushing in 13 games, but is only two years removed from setting an NFL record for running backs with 102 receptions.This is the most anxious Ive (been) and the most patience Ive had to have with an injury, he said. Ive always looked forward to, obviously, getting out there as soon as possible, but at this point in time, its been a process throughout camp.Forte acknowledged that the training staff has had to hold him back from rushing onto the field too quickly -- and possibly aggravating the hamstring injury.If it was up to me, Id be going at it every day to try to be out there on my own terms, he said. A lot of times, they have to protect me from myself, so I (dont want to) overwork and have a setback.Game notes WR Brandon Marshall has been excused for a day or two, coach Todd Bowles said, but will be ready to play against Washington on Friday night. ...

DE Muhammad Wilkerson fully participated in practice for the first time in training camp. The team had been easing him back after he broke his right leg against Buffalo in the last seasons finale.
