Watching Robin Lehner calmly handle net-front traffic on the Blues power play last night was a sight to behold. Who knows what his true New Lehner ceiling is, but when he is on this season — which is way more often than not thus far — he looks like the ideal combo of size and new NHL technique.
Everyone says Lou Lamoriello likes to have himself a bona fide number-one goalie. With each passing week, I wonder if the Isles have one in Lehner, an unrestricted free agent having a career year.
- So the Islanders won last night in overtime over a fairly hot Blues team.
