Three-Game-Streak Lightning Set to Face Islanders

The Tampa Bay Lightning visit the New York Islanders on Saturday, with Tampa Bay riding a three-game winning streak and New York coming off a 4-1 win over Chicago. Islanders captain Bo Horvat was injured by a head check from Chicago’s Frank Nazar in that game; reports differed on whether Horvat’s availability was settled, while Nazar received a two-game suspension. Ilya Sorokin and Andrei Vasilevskiy are expected to start in goal. New York will also be without defenseman Alexander Romanov for the season after an ACL tear, while Tampa Bay is missing Emil Lilleberg and Yanni Gourde.
