Preseason does not matter. Now that we have announced that given, man, it sounds like the New York Islanders are in mid-season form. I have not watched much of the preseason, but the Islanders keep winning or else dominating the game.
It has been mostly the NHL regulars populating the scoresheets after these games. Whichever goalie has played has played well, Cory Schneider’s third period on Saturday aside. Schneider redeemed himself with a full-game shutout last night against the Philadelphia Flyers. If Semyon Varlamov is unable to go and Schneider has to dress for the beginning of the season, hopefully, he can keep up this pace.
