Status report

The Islanders will use the same skaters from a 3-2 win against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday. Varlamov will make his second start of the season … Blue Jackets coach Pascal Vincent said there will be game-time decisions, including whether Johnson replaces Marchenko, a forward, and who will start in goal; Merzlikins started the past two games. The changes would not be injury related.
