LAS VEGAS — Anthony Beauvillier left the Islanders twice in a seven-day span for Bridgeport a few weeks back. When he was sent down the first time, he was lost, a young player without a set role.
Since he’s been back for good on Jan. 13, he’s found a role. Boy, has he ever.
Beauvillier entered Thursday’s game here against the Golden Knights as one of the hottest goal scorers in the NHL over the past 18 days. Since Jan. 7, no one in the league has more goals than Beauvillier, who has eight in a seven-game span.
