Sometimes things are as obvious as they appear.
The latter half of February into this month has not been too kind to Long Island’s finest, as the team — even after Tuesday’s win against Ottawa — has struggled of late. The last eight games have seen the Isles winning just three, perhaps a residual effect of suboptimal lineups following the demotion of rookie forward Michael Dal Colle.
In last week’s trade deadline post-mortem, one of the key elements I posed was to recall either Dal Colle or Joshua Ho-Sang down the stretch.
