New York Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak will get the call Thursday night versus the Philadelphia Flyers.
Halak was tagged for three goals on 25 shot attempts against the Tampa Bay Lightning Tuesday night in a relief effort for Thomas Greiss during a 6-1 beatdown. He's back in the crosshairs Thursday versus a Flyers team currently scoring 3.55 goals for per game, which is second-best in the NHL. Halak owns a 2-3-0 record with a 3.15 goals against average and .898 save percentage in six starts this season.
Our models project Halak to make 23.93 saves on 26.04 shot attempts while giving him a 54.0 percent chance of picking up the win against a Philadelphia squad playing the second set of a back-to-back.
