Rittich will not be available for Saturday's game vs. the Predators. With Rittich out, Connor Ingram was recalled from Milwaukee (AHL) and will backup Juuse Saros.
Goalie Start
Sorokin led the Islanders onto the ice for warmups.
The Islanders have signed Ryan Pulock to an eight-year deal worth $49.2 million ($6.15M AAV).
Pulock is one half of one of the most underrated D-pairings in the NHL. Pulock has an absolutely cannon for a shot but his offensive numbers have been limited by playing a shutdown role next to Adam Pelech. Pulock has averaged nine goals and 27 assists (36 points) per 82 games over the last four seasons.
Gauthier will draw into the Rangers lineup on Thursday.
Goalie Start
Sorokin is expected to start the Islanders season opener in Carolina.
Martin (ankle) is unlikely to play in the Islanders’ season opener.
Martin is not expected to play on Thursday but he will travel with the team to Carolina, so he may not be sidelined for too long. With Martin out, Ross Johnston is expected to draw into the lineup.
Varlamov (undisclosed) will travel to Carolina but is not expected to be ready for the start of the season.
Varlamov is expected to miss the start of the season but will travel with the team on their lengthy road trip, which is a good sign that he isn’t far. With Varlamov out, Ilya Sorokin should start almost every game with Jakub Skarek as his backup.
The Islanders have re-signed Casey Cizikas to a six-year contract.
The Islanders have re-signed Kyle Palmieri to a four-year, $20 million contract.
The Islanders have re-signed Ilya Sorokin to a three-year, $12 million contract.
