New York Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech is getting the recognition he deserves as a top defensive defenseman in the NHL.
New York Islanders fans know Adam Pelech‘s worth. He’s not putting up a ton of points, his 21 points in 2018-19 was a career-high for the top-pair defenseman. Pelech doesn’t put up points and isn’t a flashy player on the ice. His play is subtle and unless you’re watching him you don’t really notice him.
So you can excuse non Islanders fans or media for not necessarily knowing about Pelech.
