Alan Quine got into his first two NHL games, got his first NHL goal and a lot of great memories this past weekend. The 23-year-old forward had to figure that was it for his taste of the big time this season.
Not so fast. Quine went back to Bridgeport after Sunday’s regular-season finale but came right back up on Tuesday and could potentially get into Thursday’s Game 1 lineup against the Panthers in Sunrise, Florida.
“Yeah, definitely a bit surprised when Tommer (Bridgeport coach Brent Thompson) called me yesterday to tell me to pack my stuff back up and head here,” Quine said after Islanders practice.
