Halak Injury

Another goalie has been injured and this time it's Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak against the Penguins while trying to stop a shot from the point, He is going to be out for at least 6 weeks so that means Thomas Greiss will have to be their starter and start for them in the playoffs. He is a capable goalie who has won 18 of 26 games he has been in, but that means the Islanders will have to step up for him. They are third in the Metropolitan division with 82 points and a 6 point lead over the Penguins, and the Penguins have been good lately so the Islanders aren't for sure in the playoffs yet. The injury should slow down the Islanders for sure, but they have to have other people step up. There is nothing too much to worry about as an Islander fan since Thomas has had an amazing year so far for the Islanders and can hold them off for a while. He isn't a true starter, but he can get the job done. Probably. Will Halak play again this year? Will Greiss be good for the Islanders? Will the Islanders make the playoffs this year? stay tuned....
