LINEUP NOTES:
Thomas Greiss will start in goal, while Tanner Fritz slots in for the injured Casey Cizikas. Lines will stay the same from Saturday, as will the d-pairs.

GREISS IN GOAL:
Thomas Greiss is looking to get back in the win column on Monday. The Isles goalie hasn't won since Dec. 16, but hasn't played much since then, making two starts and one relief appearance over the past month.
"I think he wants that, we want that and we need that," Head Coach Doug Weight said of turnaround for Greiss. "He's worked extremely hard and done a lot of extra work with [goaltending coach] Fred [Brathwaite]. He's been working hard and looks really good in practice. We have to have it translate, but we have to play well in front of him tonight and hopefully he can get back on his game."
A trip to the Bell Centre could be a good thing for Greiss, who made 24 saves in a 3-0 shutout here last February.

BONJOUR BEAU!
Anthony Beauvillier was a popular guy among the French-Canadian media on Monday, as the Sorel-Tracy native is playing in Montreal for the second time in his career. His first trip to Bell Centre was pretty emotional and memorable, as he scored a goal in front of his family and hometown. He had a media scrum that rivaled, if not surpassed, the crowd around John Tavares and did nearly all of en francais - which admittedly is a nice change for the native French speaker.
"It's been a while since I did interviews in French, but it's fun. It's always special to be here," Beauvillier said. "It's going to be fun to see everyone - friends, family and old coaches."

Beauvillier is also on a roll, with four points in his last two games since being recalled from Bridgeport. Monday is also Beauvillier's 100th NHL game.
BOSSY DROPS BY:
Mike Bossy was a special guest at Monday's morning skate. The Islanders legend met with Mathew Barzal and later filmed a TVA feature with John Tavares.
