Scott Mayfield is not on the ice for warmup, and he’s healthy as far as I know. The Islanders have six defensemen healthy up top. These facts could be related, could not, but if they’re keeping Mayfield off the ice tonight to have him ready if the Big Club needs him, it wouldn’t be stunning.
Otherwise, things look pretty much as expected for Bridgeport, running the rearranged-right-winger lineup, putting Jesse Graham in Mayfield’s spot.
