The New York Islanders have struggled to get their forwards going early on in this young season. Key free agent acquisitions Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera are still goalless. Surprisingly the offense has come from an unlikely forward the last couple of nights.
Shane Prince has got two goals in his return from IR. Initially it seemed like Mathew Barzal could compete for a forward spot, but now it seems inevitable that Prince will get that spot.
Both of these goals came in very similar fashion. A weird bounce behind the net with the goalie out to play it led to both the goal in Pittsburgh and last nights.
