"New York is coming off a 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, a win that handed Vancouver its 11th straight loss. Anthony Duclair scored twice in that game, while Ryan Pulock and Tony DeAngelo also found the net. Ilya Sorokin stopped 29 of 32 shots to improve the Islanders' record to 27-17-5. Coach Patrick Roy is expected to reinsert rookie winger Max Shabanov into the lineup after he sat out one game as a healthy scratch."
""We want to put Shabby back in the lineup," Roy said. "Casey's playing so well and brings so much energy, so I feel like that could be a good fit for the three of them." Sorokin is slated to start in goal again. The Islanders' No. 1 netminder has been sharp throughout the trip and is coming off his latest strong outing in Vancouver. Rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer continues to be a major storyline for New York."
