St. Louis Game Time |
The New York Islanders take back to the Barclay's Center ice to take on the St. Louis Blues in a holiday afternoon game. The Islanders did not look good in their first game of the season, losing to the columbus Blue Jackets by a score of five to nothing in Ohio. Fortunately they were able to return to their home ice the next day and beat up on the Buffalo Sabres in a win that was abetted by two short-handed goals on the same penalty kill and an empty net goal.
Fans are hoping that the win will help to set the tempo for today's game. The victory against certainly boosted the fan base's confidence - the minimum ticket prices went up by over 300 percent after the win. Beyond that, the team always does well in afternoon games (there may be a modicum of sarcasm built into that statement).
There are no lineup changes to speak of for the Islanders. Cal Clutterbuck is still out with a hip injury and with no other forwards to speak of on the team, the decision to keep the forwards the same was a pretty obvious one. Dennis Seidenberg played horrifically in the first game and Scott Mayfield performed amicably in the second, so there probably won't be many changes there anytime soon despite Ryan Pulock waiting in the wings.
The Blues are currently undefeated through two games due in no small part to a power play that's hit on two out of their six chances and a high P.D.O. There's been a great deal of puck luck there as their possession numbers haven't been what anybody would consider solid. If the Islanders can avoid the penalty box and Thomas Greiss rebounds, they should be able to take this one.
