Islanders Gameday News: Les Habitants sont arrivés

The New York Islanders return home for five of their next six games, beginning this evening against the Montreal Canadiens. This is a game that the Islanders should take two points from. Montreal is a young and fun team but one that does not play much defense. The Islanders’ new attacking style should be able to exploit them. But Sam Montembault is a pretty good goalie.

Roy confirms Varlamov tonight for #Isles. Goalie choices now all about keeping both Varly and Sorokin sharp.

Roy said Gauthier in for Wahlstrom isn’t about Wahlstrom, but about how he wants everyone to play.
