The New York Islanders shocked us all — except is anything from Lou Lamoriello truly shocking? — with the announcement today of a four-year contract extension for seldom-used but long roster-protected forward Ross Johnston.
From the team announcement:
Johnston has scored 15 points (seven goals and eight assists) in 87 career games with the Islanders.
That might actually be point production than you associate with the big forward, who diligently works on his game while mostly being left out of the lineup, and rarely exceeds 10 minutes in a game.
