The Islanders held their fifth scrimmage in the 10 days of practices so far at Training Camp 2.0 on Friday.

Not surprisingly, the players are anxious to face a real opponent.

“It’ll be nice to play someone else,” said captain Anders Lee, whose top line with center Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle again had a strong scrimmage.

The Islanders depart for their quarantined arena/hotel bubble in Toronto on Sunday.
