Islanders: impassioned play from role players is vital

I'm here to tell you this, and it's not particularly popular, Ross Johnston, Leo Komarov and Tom Kuhnhackl belong on the ice for the New York Islanders. Perhaps after the ridiculous assist which Komarov picked up in the third period to set up Martin or the third goal from Kuhnhackl against the Wild make that an obvious statement.

When the chips are down, and someone needs to step up and play simple but impassioned hockey this trio is not a bad option. Fans like to look at stats.
