Isles insert new pickup Shane Prince into lineup on John Tavares' line

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Islanders didn’t make much of a change at Monday’s trade deadline, but that one move resulted in a pretty big change to the lineup for Tuesday night’s game here against the Canucks.

Shane Prince, the rookie acquired from the Senators on Monday, went right into the Isles lineup and right at the top — he was to skate on the top line with John Tavares and Ryan Strome.

“The good thing is that the Islanders know what kind of player I am,” Prince said after his first morning skate with the team.
