Happy Friday, here are some Islanders things! Any of them are far more interesting than the “3Ice” 3-on-3 league, which NHL Network was pushing hard last night. Count me out. I’ve seen 3-on-3 OT. I’ve seen shootout drills. I’ve seen roller hockey gimmicks. I like my 5-on-5, 200-foot hockey.
- Casey Cizikas has been with the Isles a long time, and he has a modest goal milestone on the horizon. [THN]
- If the Islanders are to improve one of their biggest weaknesses last season — the power play — then they must experiment and get creative.
