Islanders: Derick Brassard Moves Back To Center
After a productive eight-game stint on the wing, the New York Islanders are moving Derick Brassard back to center the third line.
The Islanders have been decimated with injuries to start the 2019-2020 season, especially to the forward group. Due to the laundry list of names who were unable to go, the Isles moved Derrick Brassard from center to wing.
In his first eight games with the Islanders, he had just one assist serving as the third line center. Despite the lack of production, Barry Trotz moved Brassard to the wing on the second line. To say it worked would be an understatement.
