Hurricanes' Eddie Lack: Set up for home match with Isles

Lack will start in goal for the Hurricanes on Thursday as they take on the visiting Islanders.

The Isles have a three-game winning streak going -- they defeated the Sabres and Predators on the road in the last two -- despite venerable pivot John Tavares (lower body) being lost for the rest of the year. Lack will square off against this team for the first time this season. He's been rather stingy with opponents at home (albeit in a limited sample), posting a 3-2-1 record, 2.13 GAA and .924 save percentage.
