Pre Season Pre Game: Hurricanes @ Islanders

Tonight, our Islanders play host to the Carolina Hurricanes in the teams lone pre season game at the Nassau Coliseum.

Jaroslav Halak will start in net for the Islanders and could potentially play the entire game, Islanders head coach Jack Capuano told Newsday.

A notable omission from the Hurricanes lineup will be Jordan Staal who broke a bone in his leg during the Hurricanes game against the Buffalo Sabres last night.  It is unknown how much time he will miss.

Here is the Islanders lineup tonight from Arthur Staple of Newsday:

#Isles lines vs. CAR: Grabovski-Tavares-Okposo, Lee-Nelson-Strome, Conacher-Nielsen-Skille, Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck.

#Isles D/G vs. CAR: Hickey-Visnovsky, Reinhart-Pokka, Ness-Brennan. Halak and Poulin in goal. Not sure if goalies will split time.
