If a win is a win, then last night’s 2-1 win over Montreal was most definitely a win.
It was a big win, a huge win, an enormous win. The Islanders played intense hockey and the pass Mathew Barzal made to Anders Lee on the game-winning goal was just ridiculous. While I’m tempted to highlight that play in this post, I’d like to talk about the fourth line instead.
Why? Because Casey Cizikas, Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin are the heart and soul of this hockey team.
