Pay little attention to any special teams play by the Islanders through two preseason games.
Exactly “zero point zero” time was spent on it during the first three days of training camp, per coach Barry Trotz, who said the real work begins on Thursday when practice resumes.
“That’ll be a common thing from now until the start of the season,” Trotz said before Tuesday night’s 3-2 preseason overtime win over the Flyers at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum as he gave the team Wednesday off.
