Leo Komarov is making a strong case to remain in the Islanders’ lineup once Anthony Beauvillier is activated off injured reserve.
Komarov, who cleared waivers earlier in the day, had two assists in Saturday’s 4-2 win over the Bruins at Nassau Coliseum while playing on Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s left wing along with Oliver Wahlstrom for the fourth straight game.
"Playing with J-G is unbelievable," said Komarov, who logged 14:39, including 53 seconds on the 2-for-2 penalty kill. "He’s a smart player. He’s my neighbor. I’m having fun with him. We had a solid game today and we just keep building on it.
