Goalie Start
Sorokin led the Islanders onto the ice for Game 1.









Barzal was scratched on Tuesday but will play Thursday vs. the Devils. Barzal has struggled over the last month, scoring just two goals with five assists (seven points) in his last 14 games.





Pageau was a surprise scratch on Monday but will quickly re-enter the lineup. Pageau is the only one that head coach Barry Trotz would confirm is back in the lineup but he said a few players will rest and that he will get some other fresh bodies in the lineup, so the Islanders' lineup is a mystery.





Engvall has sat out the last two games but will replace Nick Foligno, who will rest against the Canucks. Engvall has scored three goals and five assists in 37 games.
