Devon Toews just seems like more of a veteran since he’s a little more than two months shy of turning 26. But the defenseman has been on the Islanders’ roster for just under a calendar year.

He returned to American Airlines Center for Saturday night’s game against the Stars for the first time since making his NHL debut in the building on Dec. 23, 2018. Toews has been in the lineup for every Islanders’ game since that first game.
