Islanders at Kings game thread: Pulock, Maccelli return

The Islanders continue the California trip in Los Angeles, with a couple of faces welcomed back to the lineup.

Ryan Pulock and Matias Maccelli are both expected to play, according to Pete DeBoer — however, J-G Pageau will sit due to an issue that required a “maintenance day” the other day.

The Kings started the season 0-4-2, but have steadied the singing ship somewhat to climb to, well, 5-9-2. One of those five wins was, of course, against the Islanders in October.

Should be a pretty big disappointment if the Islanders lose!

This is our game thread. Don’t return unexpectedly.
