Pavelec will start in goal Thursday against the Islanders at the Barclays Center.
Pavelec surrendered six goals on a whopping 49 shots in his last start March 30, but it appears he will get one more before the regular season comes to a close. Henrik Lundqvist has already been confirmed as Saturday's starter for the season finale, so Pavelec will get one more opportunity to showcase his abilities in what figures to be a shootout between two teams ranking in the top five in goals allowed per game this season.
