The New York Islanders go for an unlikely third consecutive win over the East-leading Boston Bruins, who’ve still only suffered three regulation losses out of 16 games this season.
That would be something if 60% of the Isles’ first 10 victories came against the impostors to this pandemic season’s Frankenstein Patrick/Metro Division. {jinx}
The Islanders will have at least one lineup tweak from last game, with the possibility of Leo Komarov replacing Austin Czarnik.
Leo Komarov and Oliver Wahlstrom back up from taxi squad, Michael Dal Colle remains on injured reserve and three goalies on #Isles roster. If that's final, no Austin Czarnik tonight and look for Leo to be back in the lineup.

For the Bruins, the big news (from our perspective): Old friend Jaroslav Halak is expected to start.
