Freshly off of clinching a ticket to the playoffs, the Islanders will rest notable players Mathew Barzal, Hudson Fasching, and Pierre Engvall in their final game of the season. Barazal ends the 2023-24 campaign with 80 points (23G / 57A) in 80 games, his highest total since his rookie season in 2017-18.
Bolduc will re-enter the lineup for the Islanders on Wednesday, playing his first game since January. The 23-year-old Bolduc has three points (1G / 2A) while averaging 12:57 time-on-ice through 33 games this season.
Warren was the 166th pick of the Minnesota Wild in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He has spent the last several seasons playing collegiate hockey, most recently recording 18 points (4G / 14A) in 41 games with the University of Michigan this season.
MacLean did not participate in the morning skate on Monday and will be a game-time decision vs. New Jersey. The 24-year-old will be replaced by Simon Holmstrom if he is unable to go tonight. Through 30 games played, the rookie has three goals, seven points, 25 SOG, 11 PIMs and a +5 plus/minus.
