The Impact and the Islanders have played arduous schedules the past month, in the league and in the CONCACAF Champions League, where USL teams have a 6-0-2 record in the preliminary round and the group stage.

Since the beginning of September through Sunday, Montreal has covered 22,847 miles and Puerto Rico 15,035, according to the league.
