Nabokov will be between the pipes Tuesday against the Islanders, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

With Ben Bishop making a turn Monday night against the Rangers, Nabokov will step in for his fifth outing of the season. The 39-year-old has been far from stellar with a 3.32 GAA and .874 save percentage, but the Bolts' powerful offense will usually give him a shot at coming away with a win any time he's on the ice.
