Coach Lane Lambert responded by rolling out new forward lines for the Islanders on Monday against the Devils.
After a shutout loss on Saturday, coach Lane Lambert responded by rolling out new forward lines for the Islanders on Monday against the Devils.
“I liked the changes,” Lambert said after the win. “I thought Anders was good. Pageau was good and I thought Horvat was good tonight. There was certainly some positives there with the changes. We’ll see where we go from here.” Even better, Horvat broke an 11-game scoring drought with an empty-net tap-in, with Cizikas making a point to get the puck to him for what was in essence a free goal.
On a night where there wasn’t much negative to say about the Isles, though, Horvat’s line was the only one whose underlying stats told a different story, as it was outshot 10-2 and out-chanced 14-3, per Natural Stat Trick.
