Halak has gone 34-15-1 with a 2.46 goals-against average, .912 save percentage and four shutouts in 50 games this season, his first with the Islanders.
New York recalled goaltender Kevin Poulin from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League on an emergency basis to join starter Michal Neuvirth for the club's contest against the Blackhawks.
Visnovsky has totaled 15 points (4G, 11A) in 46 games in his third season on Long Island.
