The California trip opens tonight in San Jose as the Islanders take on the Sharks.
The goalie rotation stays in tact, and Semyon Varlamov will be in between the Isles’ pipes. The home team’s counterpart will be Martin Jones.
Semyon Varlamov (7-2-1, 2.70 GAA, .912 save pct.) for #Isles vs. Martin Jones (8-8-1, 3.34, .885) for #Sharks as teams on the ice for warmups here in San Jose.

The Islanders will run out the same lines and pairs as Thursday night, meaning Ross Johnston, Leo Komarov, and Noah Dobson remain healthy scratches.

The Sharks come into this game hot, as well—but, perhaps not as hot as the Islanders. It should be a tough one as the Islanders go for 17 straight games with at least a point.
