Look for Evgeni Nabokov to miss at least two weeks with his groin injury.
Nabokov will be re-evaluated Monday but coach Jack Capuano said after the game Saturday that he is expected to miss two weeks at a minimum. Nabokov has struggled this season with a 5-5-3 record, a 3.30 GAA and a .892 save percentage. Reserve him for now and hope that Kevin Poulin does not run with the goaltending job while Nabokov is out of action. Nabokov has a huge influence in the Islanders dressing room as John Tavares stated: "He's been a big part of our team. A lot of people don't always see what he means in our locker room. He's a tremendous guy and a tremendous presence. So we hope it's not too serious and he's back soon."
