PITTSBURGH — Think you’re going to get under Robin Lehner’s skin? Well, he has an answer for that.
After the goalie backstopped his Islanders to a 3-1 win over the Penguins in Game 4 of their first-round playoff series Tuesday night, completing the sweep, Lehner addressed a second-period kerfuffle he had with fellow Swede Patric Hornqvist.
As Hornqvist crashed the net, Lehner gave him a little slash with his stick. Hornqvist responded with a quick cross-check that was met with another slash from Lehner. It then looked like Hornqvist went to drop his gloves as if he were trying to fight a goalie, but it was broken up before things could escalate.
