The New York Islanders completed a busy stretch of the preseason with their third game in three nights Wednesday, a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils in Newark, on a late goal by a young junior-eligible who’s giving them tough decisions to make. With several days before the final preseason game, the next cuts are expected any day (or hour) now.
And there are cuts to make. The Isles have something of a logjam at forward. As it stands right now, there are 11 forwards who are almost certainly locked in for the opening night lineup.
