Status report
Boquist and Reilly will enter the lineup with defensemen Pelech and Pulock coming out. ... Romanov, a defenseman, likely will miss a second straight game, Islanders coach Patrick Roy said. … Williams will make his NHL debut. ... Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said Aston-Reese, a forward, is "a little banged up” and the only lineup change from a 3-0 win at the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday.
