The New York Islanders have activated Evgeni Nabokov (groin). It remains to be seen who will start on Tuesday. Al Montoya has been great this season, but he's coming off two rough starts. Evgeni Nabokov has looked like the Islanders' top goaltender at times, but injuries have prevented him from securing that role. In the long run, the Islanders might end up trading Nabokov and putting their trust in Montoya, but for now, the two are expected to battle for playing time.
