One game left before the bye week and All-Star break, and it's against one of the best teams in the league, albeit one on a back-to-back. That last little clause is almost not worth mentioning for these New York Islanders as we've seen, but it theoretically should work in the Isles' favor. Theoretically.
Ilya Sorokin was in the proverbial starter's net, but Semyon Varlamov left the ice a little before Sorokin, and the first guy off is usually the starter. Pierre Engvall will not be catching a healthy scratch for his performance on Thursday, and I have to agree with that move. I no longer want to launch Engvall across the Atlantic like I did after that loss. Despite the turnovers and lack of production, he still does bring an element they need when he's going.
