In his season debut Saturday night against the Detroit Red Wings, Joshua Ho-Sang played a team-low 8:22 of 5v5. In his handful of shifts, the 22-year-old right winger did well to maintain possession and create some offense while — perhaps most importantly — avoiding any glaring mistakes.
It was the first game of Ho-Sang’s career with center Valtteri Filppula, but the two seemed to share an understanding throughout the game.
Ho-Sang’s most memorable shift of the game came early. With three minutes to go in the first he gathered the puck and side-stepped an opponent at the Islanders blueline, flying through the neutral zone with Leo Komarov alongside.
