Status report
The Islanders are expected to use the same lineup from a 6-5 overtime loss to the New York Rangers in the 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. ... Phillips, who made his Penguins debut Sunday after being claimed off waivers from the Washington Capitals on Friday, was promoted to second-line right wing at practice on Monday. Joseph was elevated from a healthy scratch to the top pair next to Letang, moving Pettersson to the second with Karlsson. ... Acciari, a forward, wore a no-contact jersey during an optional morning skate. He has missed five games with a concussion.
