Kieffer Bellows kept shooting as the final seconds ticked down in the third four-on-four game of the Islanders’ Blue and White scrimmage at Northwell Health Ice Center on Thursday night.
A hard shot from the right boards didn’t connect. Then a harder shot from lower in the right circle went high and the clock expired on Bellows’ Team White in its 3-2 loss to Team Blue 2.
The 19th overall pick in the 2016 NHL Draft didn’t score but he made an impression on the packed crowd at Al Arbour rink, where fans chanted for franchise player John Tavares to re-sign.
