Lineups

New York Islanders

After last Saturday’s game against the Vancouver Canucks, the Isles are not expected to make many changes to the lineup. One change is definitely guaranteed because of the arrival of Kieffer Bellows. Most likely we will see Tom Kuhnhackl who played 6:47 against the Canucks on the scratched list.

Also, it looks like Semyon Varlamov will get the start after Thomas Greiss picked up the loss on Saturday.

The Islanders should look like this tonight:

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Bailey
Bellows-Brassard-Dal Colle
Martin-Cizikas-Komarov

Leddy-Pulock
Toews-Mayfield
Dobson-Boychuck

Varlamov (Greiss)

Dallas Stars

After playing last night, I only expect Dallas to be making one change and that is in-between the pipes. Ben Bishop, who’s been great against the Islanders for the Stars gets the start with Anthon Khudobin playing against the Rangers last night.

Benn-Hintz-Seguin
Janmark-Pavelski-Radulov
Cogliano-Faksa-Comeau
Gurianov-Dickinson-Perry

Lindell-Klingberg
Oleksiak-Heiskanen
Sekera-Johns

Bishop (Khudobin)

Dallas has one of the best defensive teams in the NHL and against a struggling Isles offense, tonight can be a low scoring affair.
