The New York Islanders wrap up their California trip tonight as they take on the Los Angeles Kings in the Staples Center. The Islanders come in after their three to one victory last night which saw Thomas Greiss Stand on his head to steal one against the San Jose Sharks. The Kings are coming off of a victory in their own right, defeating the Buffalo Sabres by a score of four to two.
There will be no changes to the forwards or the defense tonight as the team sticks with what won them last night's game. Jaroslav Halak replaces Greiss in net - something that's not entirely too surprising coming off of a back to back, but it would be nice to have some consistency in net. Neither Halak nor Greiss have started two consecutive games.
The Islanders will have to be on their A game tonight to beat Los Angeles, who comes in first in the league in points percentage with some great possession numbers and good performances on special teams and in net. The Kings have the second best penalty kill in the N.H.L. this year and the Islanders have yet to score a goal on the power play. Hockey is far to often a strange game and both teams are due for some regression, so perhaps they can break that tonight en route to a victory.
