The Islanders are in Vegas for a late one on a Saturday night.
Sounds like Alex Romanov will be okay from his ouchie where it hurts, but Cal Clutterbuck and Kyle Palmieri will be back out, injury-related.
Pretty frustrating and a little scary for Palmieri, who returned from a head injury layoff only to receive a high hit last night that took him from the game. He returned, briefly and late, but he’s back out again tonight. Hopefully it’s just precautionary.
Looks like Fasching and Holmstrom back in the lineup after they came out last night for Beauvillier and Palmieri
