The New York Islanders are back at it Monday night to host the Calgary Flames on the second game of their eastern road trip. Sunday night the Flames lost in Manhattan and they'll be looking to bounce back.
Last time the rested Islanders faced a team playing back-to-back it didn't go as designed.
The big news of the day is Thomas Hickey's injury from Saturday night in St. Louis is serious enough to put him on IRimmediately. Marek Zidlicky steps returns to the lineup in Hickey's place, resurrecting the prayerful pairing with Brian Strait.
