Status report
This is the second game in four days between the teams. The Islanders won 5-4 at home against the Blackhawks on Thursday. Barzal (lower-body injury) and Duclair practiced for the Islanders on Saturday. Duclair will not play, but Islanders coach Patrick Roy said he is close. Barzal will be a game-time decision … Horvat is day to day with a lower-body injury, but he may play … Soderblom will start after Commesso made 20 saves in a 4-1 defeat at New Jersey on Saturday. It was Commesso’s first NHL start.
