Pavelec will be in the crease Tuesday against the Islanders, Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Analysis:

Pavelec has alternated strong performances with weak ones his last four times out, holding the Hurricanes and Avalanche to one goal in victories and surrendering four goalies apiece to the Flames and Lightning in defeats. That level of inconsistency makes him a tough to count on in daily play to deliver a steady outing against a quality Islanders squad, especially with 12 games on the docket Tuesday night.
