Halak will be the starting goaltender in Tuesday's game against the Jets.

Analysis:

Halak will take the net Tuesday night for the first time since last Tuesday. He posted an unsightly 3.39 GAA through his first five starts, so the Islanders are hoping a week off helps him get back on track. The team is off to a 6-2-0 start thanks to its high-scoring offense, but they have given up nearly as many goals as they have scored, so they'll need Halak to play better in order to maintain a lofty spot in the standings.
