The Islanders have another quiet start to the week ahead, though at least they have more than one game. They wait till Tuesday to get back into action, when the traveling Coyotes visit Elmont. Then comes a Friday-Saturday traveling back-to-back, as the Islanders will host the Devils before traveling to Buffalo for a rematch with the Sabres.
