Islanders' Nikolay Kulemin: On track to play Saturday

Kulemin (undisclosed) is projected to play in Saturday's game against the Bruins, NHL.com reports. However, it's no guarantee, as the Islanders did not hold morning skate.

Analysis:

The power forward came up lame in Friday's game against the Penguins, and now he's shaping up to be a game-time decision for the latter side of the back-to-back. Provided he's healthy enough to play, look for Kulemin to slot in on the fourth line opposite Cal Clutterbuck and centered by Casey Cizikas.
