Goalie Start: Nabokov in goal tonight for #Isles. dailyfaceoff.com Thu 2/28/13 2:56 PM

Nabokov has won two of his last three starts while posting a 1.98 GAA and .941 SV%. The Islanders are competitive right now and a lot of it has to do with John Tavares, Matt Moulson and Nabokov. With his recent stretch of strong play Nabby has his GAA under 3.00 now (2.92) and his SV% above .900 (.904).He has a decent matchup vs. the Maple Leafs tonight. The one thing working against him is the game is on Long Island, where the Islanders are 2-8-0 this season.
