Islanders Rely Heavily On Adam Pelech On The Blue Line

Picture this, it's December 2018, Adam Pelech is playing 13 minutes a night and someone claiming to be from the future comes up to you and says "Adam Pelech will be one of the Islanders' most important defenders in just a few months."

You'd laugh, say go find Doc and the Delorian and get the hell out of here. Well, now 11 months later that is 100 percent the case.

The Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock pairing is this team's best pair by a long shot, and so far this year Adam Pelech is leading all Islanders skaters in average ice time.
