New York Islanders forward Mikhail Grabovski (upper body) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Montreal Canadiens.
Analysis:
Grabovski left Monday's game against Arizona with an upper-body ailment, but returned to practice Wednesday, and will draw into the Islanders' lineup for Friday's tilt against Montreal. He is expected to return to his role centering the Islanders' third line and second power-play unit in the contest.
