A flash the Islanders hope can be a harbinger came 11:18 into the first period of an otherwise dull preseason loss.
With the Islanders on the power play, Arnaud Durandeau’s pass came off the end boards and onto the stick of William Dufour at the right post.
“I don’t necessarily know if you could say [they] changed my mind, really,” Lambert said after the loss, which also featured a third-period goal from Durandeau. “It’s time to see what happens when we play against a different organization. There was some good things done by those guys and certainly, there’s some areas that we need to teach and correct and help with.”
Afterwards, Dufour gave a circumspect evaluation of his night, which featured 16:53 playing on the nominal top line with Brock Nelson and Pierre Engvall. “It’s time for me to take the next step and show that I can play here,” Durandeau said Monday. “I think last year I got a little taste of it. This year, I want to stay longer and make the team or be the first call-up and play as many games as I can. And hopefully get a spot on the team.”
