With a strong performance in Game 1, it seemed that Ilya Sorokin would get a start in Game 2 for the New York Islanders. Sorokin let in three goals, but he was a big reason the Isles had a chance to push for overtime and eventually a win.
But in Game 2, Barry Trotz had Semyon Varlamov start between the pipes for the Islanders.
