Status report
Neither team was scheduled to hold a morning skate Saturday. ... Martin, a forward, and Varlamov, a goalie, each practiced Friday. ... Islanders coach Barry Trotz said he might make one or two lineup changes based on minor injuries following New York's 6-3 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. … Bennett did not practice Friday, but Panthers coach Joel Quenneville said he "should be fine" to play. ... Bobrovsky, who made 43 saves in a 5-4 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, will make his second straight start.
