Islanders notebook: Halak ready, but Greiss is still the man
Jaroslav Halak has been skating for a few weeks as he returns to health from a serious groin injury suffered on March 8. There appears to be no rush for him to return, though, with Thomas Greiss playing an awfully strong game in net heading into Game 3 against the Lightning on Tuesday.
“Obviously it was bad timing for me to get injured, but I’m just trying to work my way back to the lineup and back to the bench,” Halak said after Monday’s practice in which he shared a net with current backup J-F Berube.
