Speaking to media after game one, New York Islanders head coach Barry Trotz was asked if he needed to change much in light of the loss. His response was that he didn’t feel he needed to change much, but he could tinker with the lines.
(Fast-forward to the 2:30 mark of the post-game press conference for the bit about the lineup.)
I don’t personally think that Barry needs to change much. The Islanders were the better team on the night. They created 12 high-danger chances to the Hurricanes seven. Petr Mrazek, however, was up to the task in game one, stopping all 31 shots he faced.
