Kevin Poulin allowed three goals on 24 shots Thursday as the Islanders dropped a 3-2 decision to Los Angeles. The starting assignment was the third in a row for the Isles backup, who seemed to have temporarily usurped starter Evgeni Nabokov, though the Russian could be back in goal for the team's next outing. Poulin's record stands at 2-5-0 while he holds a 2.45 GAA and a save percentage of .914.
