Lane Lambert made a couple of lineup swaps, Sebastian Aho coming in for Alex Romanov (likely due to a hit he took in the second period last night) and Josh Bailey in for Simon Holmstrom (no reason or speculation on that one). The lineup changes didn’t inspire much in the New York Islanders, who were shutout last night, and followed that up by getting just four high danger chances at 5v5 the entirety of the game, compared to the Hurricanes’ 13.
They just weren’t getting it done offensively tonight at all, minus one goal from JG Pageau that came against the run of play.
