Anthony Beauvillier knows exactly what to expect when the Islanders resume practicing on Tuesday.
“It’s just going to be tough practices and it’s going to feel a little bit like training camp again,” Beauvillier said after Sunday’s practice in East Meadow before the team was given Monday off.
The Islanders opened the season with eight games in 16 days but are now in a lax stretch of three games in 12 days. They next play against the Coyotes on Thursday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum – starting a stretch of three games in four nights – after earning their fourth straight victory with a 3-2 overtime win at Columbus on Saturday night.
