With a new defensive minded coach, things were going to be different for New York Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy in 2018-19. Gone was the previous regime that put all of their eggs in the offense side of the game, leaving none for the defensive side of the game.

As the team’s number one defender Nick Leddy was out on the ice a lot. The Islanders offense-heavy strategy created a ton of goals, but they also allowed a ton in their own net.
