Islanders Balanced Lineup Key to Their Success

The New York Islanders do not have a Sidney Crosby or a Connor McDavid or even a John Tavares (tongue in cheek) leading the way. Instead, the Isles rely on their entire group to pull the rope every game.

While some players on the Islander roster average a little bit more ice time on a nightly basis, head coach Barry Trotz plays all of his lines (forwards & defensive pairings). While the Isles currently do not have a superstar player (Mathew Barzal could be in the near future) what they do have is a lot of quality hockey players.
