"The Islanders are coming off a 4-3 overtime victory against the Wild on Saturday, their first road win in Minnesota since 2019. Simon Holmstrom led the way with two goals and an assist, including the overtime winner, while Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Casey Cizikas scored in regulation. Ilya Sorokin was sharp again, stopping 33 of 36 shots as New York improved to 5-0 in overtime games this season."
"Up front, Kyle MacLean returns to the lineup after sitting out Saturday as a healthy scratch. Roy said MacLean's energy alongside Casey Cizikas and Marc Gatcomb gives that line a defined identity, while the rotation with Max Tsyplakov is designed to keep the entire group engaged during a strong stretch of play. On the blue line, Adam Boqvist remains in the lineup for a second straight game, marking his first run of consecutive appearances since November."
