Cal Clutterbuck will be in the Islanders’ lineup against Vegas on Thursday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum after taking a stick to the face and missing the bulk of Tuesday night’s lethargic 4-2 loss at Montreal.
It’s an early positive for an Islanders squad trying to regain some consistency.
“There has been a little stretch here where we’ve been a little inconsistent in the way we’ve been playing,” Clutterbuck said after Thursday’s full-squad morning skate.
