When Jack Capuano was fired by the New York Islanders earlier this month it was thought that Ryan Strome might finally be able to get out from beneath the bus he was constantly thrown under. But just three games into interim coach Doug Weight’s tenure and Strome is already being benched at key moments in the game.
Strome was a noticeable absentee as the New York Islanders tried to battle for a win against divisional rival the Philadelphia Flyers. For parts of the third Strome was stapled to the bench for a second gaff committed earlier in the game.
