Islanders and Panthers stick with same goalies for Game 2
SUNRISE, Fla. — Despite the rarity of playing goaltenders on back-to-back nights, neither Jack Capuano nor Gerard Gallant hesitated at all to right back to Thomas Greiss and Roberto Luongo for Friday’s Game 2.
Greiss started on consecutive nights once this regular season. He was pulled after allowing four goals in 30:27 in Pittsburgh on Jan. 2 in a 5-2 loss, then started the next night in Barclays Center in a 6-5 win over the Stars. Both Jaroslav Halak and J-F Berube were injured then, however, which factored into Capuano’s decision.
Luongo started consecutive nights once as well, Jan. 22-23, and won both games.
