The New York Islanders are back in action for a preseason matchup against the New York Rangers at UBS Arena on Monday night.
The Islanders had two days off after a 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Friday, where Anthony Duclair and Marc Gatcomb scored for New York. Ilya Sorokin started in his first preseason game, making 23 saves on 26 shots.
Monday’s contest marks the second meeting between the two teams in preseason action. The Islanders pulled off a 5-4 comeback win at MSG on Thursday, which was the most recent preseason game for the Rangers.
Max Tsyplakov (day-to-day, maintenance) and Anders Lee (upper body) joined the team for Sunday’s practice. Lee wore a red non-contact jersey for the second straight day and Tsyplakov wore a regular jersey.
The Isles are down to one group in training camp, as they trimmed their roster down on Saturday. Head Coach Patrick Roy tweaked his lines during Sunday’s skate, so while Monday’s roster won’t be confirmed until morning skate, there’s a chance Emil Heineman could play on a line with Bo Horvat and Jonathan Drouin, while Maxim Shabanov took line rushes with JG Pageau and Simon Holmstrom and Anthony Duclair skated with Tsyplakov and Casey Cizikas.
Check back for projected lines, news and notes from morning skate.
