Devon Toews took the ice by himself prior to his debut against the Dallas Stars on Sunday, but once the puck dropped, he impressed as a team player.
Toews attempted three shots in 18:05 in the New York Islanders’ 3-1 victory over the Stars. He made a good impression on his teammates and coaches, who were singing his praises following the game.
“Helluva game by Toews today,” said Islanders goaltender Robin Lehner, who stopped 19 of 20 shots. “[I was] very impressed by how he played today. He didn’t look nervous or anything.
