The New York Islanders had a soul-crushing loss last night to the Buffalo Sabres, Although one bright spot for the Islanders, and their bottom six has actually been Ross Johnston.
The 23-year-old has played in just four games this year but his impact has been felt for this team filling in on the fourth line. Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck have been far from their once forceful selves ever since Matt Martin has left.
Johnston has added some life to an otherwise lifeless unit. In four games he has three points (2 goals, 1 assists).
