UPDATES & LINEUP:

The Islanders recalled Isaiah George from Bridgeport, a 20-year-old who only has four games of professional experience under his belt.

He takes the spot of Samuel Bolduc, who, after making a costly mistake against the Rangers, found himself back in Bridgeport on Monday evening.

George will skate with Grant Hutton on the team’s third pairing as Alexander Romanov (upper body) misses his second straight game.

He and Mike Reilly (upper body) have yet to take the ice since getting injured up in Buffalo.

Here’s George taking his rookie lap:

Goalie Ilya Sorokin will make his 200th appearance in an Islanders uniform, while Alex Nedeljkovic gets the start for Pittsburgh.
