Islanders aim to ground Blackhawks in Friday night duel
The New York Islanders, after a 4-2 defeat from the Winnipeg Jets, will take on the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday. This game concludes their journey on the road in the Central Division. They're aiming for victory, especially after a rough 5-0 loss to the Wild earlier. Led by two successful goals from Anders Lee, they're ready to get their first win of the trip.
Casey Cizikas remains on IR with a lower-body injury. Kyle MacLean, recently recalled from the Bridgeport Islanders, will make his NHL debut, adding depth in Cizikas' absence. Pierre Engvall's status is day-to-day, and Ilya Sorokin, with a career-long 12 consecutive appearances, looks to maintain his stellar form between the pipes.
Chicago, now at the bottom of the Central Division, meets the Isles on the tail end of their two-day playing streak following a 3-0 blow from the Sabres. Key players as Connor Bedard with a broken jaw and Nick Foligno with a fractured finger are out. The Blackhawks are counting on Jason Dickinson's scoring skills, who's extended his contract by two years.
Petr Mrazek is expected to start in goal for Chicago, aiming to improve his 11-16-1 season record. Former Islander Anthony Beauvillier, acquired by the Blackhawks in November, remains sidelined with a wrist injury.
