"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."
"Rookie defenseman Matthew Schaefer continues to be a major storyline for New York. He recorded two assists Monday for his seventh multi-point game of the season. Schaefer now has 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists), second on the team behind Mathew Barzal, and leads all NHL rookie defensemen in scoring."
""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.""
