The Islanders will look to end a three game winless streak tonight in Long Island against the struggling Edmonton Oilers. Matt Donovan will return to the line up tonight as well as Colin McDonald. With the team speed that the Oilers possess it only makes sense that Donovan replaces Matt Carkner. While the Oilers have been giving up goals at a remarkable clip; they have a high powered offense and this will be a huge test for an underwhelming Islander defense.

Listed below are the Islanders lines for tonight as well as well as the scratches. The Islanders need to come away from tonight's game with two points to settle everyone down and get back into a winning form.

Forwards:
Grabner-Tavares-Okposo
Bouchard-Nielsen-Bailey
Moulson-Regin-Clutterbuck
McDonald-Cizikas-Martin

Defense:
Visnovsky-Hickey
MacDonald-Hamonic
Donovan-Strait

Goalie:
(starter) Nabokov
Poulin

Scratches
Nelson, Boulton, Carkner
