The Islanders approach the halfway point in the season with their back-to-back in Alberta, starting with tonight in Edmonton.
It sounds like they’ll have one injured forward back, Cal Clutterbuck:
Lane Lambert says Cal Clutterbuck a game time decision. But Ross Johnston remains on ice along with Kyle Palmieri and Robin Salo being skated hard as extras. So, yeah, plan if for Clutterbuck to play.

My expectation for #Isles lineup at #Oilers tonight (no lines run during morning skate)
Bailey-Barzal-Cizikas
Lee-Nelson-Fasching
Parise-Pageau-Beauvillier
Martin-Raty-Clutterbuck
Romanov-Dobson
Wotherspoon-Pulock
Aho-Mayfield
Sorokin
