The New York Islanders are expected to give Evgeni Nabokov, Rick DiPietro and Al Montoya playing time in the team's final two preseason contests. "Over the next few games, we'll get a better feel for who we want in there opening night," said coach Jack Capuano. The team's other three netminders at camp, Kevin Poulin, Anders Nilsson and Mikko Koskinen, are slated to be sent down to the minors to compete for starts in Bridgeport. The regular season begins for the Islanders on Oct. 8 against the Florida Panthers and it will be interesting to see how the team handles three goalies on their roster.

Nabakov is my guess since the NYI will be showcasing him for trade bait....
