Casey Cizikas scored a shorthanded goal and was credited with a deflection for a second goal, his 19th of the season, on “Boo John Tavares Night.”
The second one was changed after the Islanders’ 6-1 win over Toronto Thursday at Nassau Coliseum. It became Nick Leddy’s goal.
No matter. Cizikas still has a career-high 18. That’s rather impressive considering he’s on the fourth line. But the 28-year-old center is quick to pass when it comes to the credit.
“Yeah, it’s definitely nice, but … I don’t think I’d have 18 if it wasn’t for my linemates and the guys in the room,” Cizikas said at the morning skate before the Islanders’ 3-1 loss to Washington Friday night at the Coliseum.
