Anthony Beauvillier was the lone Islander not to practice on Thursday in East Meadow as the team prepared for Game 2 of its first-round series against the Penguins.
Coach Barry Trotz termed it a “maintenance day,” with no indication whether Beauvillier would be available on Friday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
Beauvillier’s ice time of 11:01 in Wednesday night’s, 4-3 overtime win in Game 1 — his NHL playoff debut — was the least among Islanders forwards. Beauvillier took one shot playing on Valtteri Filppula’s left wing along with Leo Komarov and had two missed shots.
