We're going to take it one game at a time, and we've just got to make sure that we're giving it our all next game and build on it."The Islanders are expected to have forward Cal Clutterbuck available for Game 5; he did not play in the third period Tuesday after a hit from Capitals defenseman Radko Gudas at 15:14 of the second."I talked to him, he seems pretty good to go," Trotz said.
