Colin McDonald made the case for himself and is staying put for tonight's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Zolnierczyk has been returned to Bridgeport and Cal Clutterbuck is back in the line-up with Nelson and Kulemin.
It's a smart move to keep McDonald on the line with Zeeker and Martin since they do have chemistry. Halak will be in net and no changes will be made on Defense. Ofcourse, that's what Jack says now -- game time can always be different.
Uniondale is crawling with Toronto media and a fine article was written yesterday about John Tavares and his love of the old barn. It was heartfelt with only a few minor errors on the reporter's part. At least now they're not all looking for JT to run over the border back to Canada to play for a 'real team.'
The Islanders ARE the real deal. And they're proving it.
