The New York Islanders host the (Las) Vegas Golden Knights for the franchises’ first meeting in their history, with the home team running the same lineup that ran away with things against the Predators in Nashville, including Jaroslav Halak receiving a second consecutive start.
That means more Ryan Pulock (yay!) and Dennis Seidenberg (oh...) and Thomas Hickey and Scott Mayfield are the blueliners drawing the short straws as healthy scratches.
