Michael Dal Colle remained in the Islanders’ lineup for a third straight game when the team played the Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Monday night. He was on Brock Nelson’s second line with Jordan Eberle for the second game in a row.
Anthony Beauvillier missed his sixth straight game as Nelson’s usual left wing as he remained on injured reserve with a lower-body issue. Monday was Dal Colle's fourth game overall this season.
"He was on the puck, he was skating," coach Barry Trotz said of Dal Colle notching two assists in Saturday’s 4-3 win over the Penguins at Nassau Coliseum for his first career multi-point game.
