EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — Ruslan Iskhakov probably was not supposed to pay so much attention to how the New York Islanders were doing, but he could not help it.
New York Islanders ’ Ruslan Iskhakov , left, talks with Sebastian Aho during a break during the first period of the team’s NHL hockey game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in Elmont, N.Y. Ruslan Iskhakov probably was not supposed to pay so much attention to how the New York Islanders were doing, but he could not help it.
Things broke his way during the final week of the regular season. The Islanders clinched their playoff spot with one game to go, allowing head coach Patrick Roy to sit wingers Mathew Barzal, Pierre Engvall, and Anders Lee. Fourth-line winger Matt Martin is day-to-day with what Roy described as “maintenance,” on Wednesday. Iskhakov skated in his place on that line alongside Kyle MacLean and Cal Clutterbuck.
