Barry Trotz doesn’t expect to tinker with his Islanders’ lineup for Thursday night’s Game 3 against the Bruins at Nassau Coliseum.
Wednesday’s practice at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow saw the same line combinations and defense pairings that Trotz used in Monday night’s 4-3 overtime win in Boston. Oliver Wahlstrom (lower body) and Michael Dal Colle did not practice with the main group on Wednesday and neither is ready to return.
"They’re both skating," Trotz said. "We’re going to go with the same lineup as we went the last game. But they’re getting closer.
