Skarek stopped 27 of 32 shots in Sunday's 6-3 road loss to the Panthers.
The Islanders allowed two goals in each period, with the Panthers' final tally going into an empty net. The 25-year-old Skarek was making his NHL debut and proved no match for the reigning Stanly Cup champions. Skarek should work as Ilya Sorokin's backup until one of Semyon Varlamov (lower body) or Marcus Hogberg (upper body) gains clearance to return.
