The forward lines that Islanders coach Lane Lambert had hoped would last for a good stretch of time lasted less than two weeks.
“He forechecks extremely hard and then he goes to the net, and so does Horvat,” Lambert said Thursday of putting Lee on the first line “Horvat goes to the net as well, there’s a dual-threat net presence there, which gives Barzal an opportunity. But certainly [Lee’s] a guy who can get on the forecheck and get pucks back.”The hope was that Lee would find his touch alongside the Islanders’ two best offensive players.
In what might have been the Islanders’ best win of the season, though, that was a sacrifice the coach was happy to make. Lee, Barzal and Horvat each finished with over 20 minutes of time on ice, with Horvat playing a team-high 24:18.
