Garth Snow has had plenty of time to bolster a New York Islanders defensive corps that has been in trouble since the Opening Night puck drop with unstable personnel. Injuries to Calvin de Haan, Johhny Boychuk and penalty-killing forward Nikolay Kulemin have only made things worse. On some nights, it looks like the team’s best defenseman is the goaltender. But Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss have not been the dynamic duo this year that fans were hoping for. That’s a major problem.
Yet Snow continues to do nothing.
