The New York Islanders beat the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden (what else is new?) in a preseason match Wednesday night, 4-3 in overtime on an Anthony Beauvillier winner. It’s preseason though, so what can we take from it?
That the Islanders tried Nick Leddy on the right side, his off side.
And that, as Barry Trotz stated earlier in the day, Tanner Fritz still has a shot at making the opening roster.
Fritz is no star, but he’s a talent who deserves a shot over the baker’s dozen of grinding forwards the Isles have created with all their summer additions.
