Goalie Robin Lehner is not expecting his tenure with the Islanders to be one and done.
The 27-year-old former Sabres’ starter signed a one-year, $1.5-million deal with the Islanders, who had full knowledge of the off-ice addiction and mental health issues Lehner was confronting.
“It’s a great opportunity,” Lehner said on Friday after being in the first group on ice at Islanders’ training camp at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow. “I’m not looking at it as a one-year deal. I’m just proving myself off the ice. I know I can play. I know I’m a good goalie.
