Potential Lineups
New York Islanders
The Islanders are expected to make some changes going into tonight after their performance on Saturday. The Isles started rotating their lines in the third period against Boston.
#Isles at practice (without Lee/Clutterbuck - personal days)

Ladd-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Komarov
Dal Colle-Pageau-Bailey
Martin-Brassard-Johnston/Koivula
Extra F: Kuhnhackl
Greene-Pulock
Toews-Mayfield
Leddy-Boychuk
Extra D: Dobson
Varlamov, Greiss
I expect the defense to stay the same, but on offense we may see Ross Johnston come in for Cal Clutterbuck, who made his return from injury against Boston. Also, it looks like Leo Komarov will be moved to the second line and Derick Brassard will be centering the fourth line.
We expect Thomas Greiss to come in for Semyon Varlamov.
The Islanders are expected to line up like this tonight:
Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beauvillier-Nelson-Komarov
Dal Colle-Pageau-Bailey
Martin-Brassard-Johnston
Greene-Pulock
Toews-Mayfield
Leddy-Boychuk
Greiss (Varlamov)
Montreal Canadiens
Montreal should have a similar lineup as they had on Saturday night against Carolina. Canadiens star forward, Jonathan Drouin is still out injured and is not expected to be back for tonight’s clash.
Canadiens forward lines remain the same this morning at practice:

Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Suzuki-Armia
Byron-Domi-Weal
Hudon-Evans-Weise
Jonathan Drouin still not skating. Jeff Petry, who took a shot off his foot Saturday, is not skating either.
These forward lines should stay the same as above and Petry should be good to go on defense.
The Canadiens are expected to line up like this:
Tatar-Danault-Gallagher
Lehkonen-Suzuki-Armia
Byron-Domi-Weal
Hudon-Evans-Weise
Chiarot-Weber
Kulak-Petry
Ouellet-Folin
Price (Lindgren)
