Islanders Preseason News: Auditions continue in Devils blitz
Well, it’s preseason.The Islanders fielded what looked a lot like two-thirds opening-night, one-third audition kind of lineup last night, but their preseason meeting with the Devils in Newark turned into a bit of a track meet.
Of the 6-5 loss, Lane Lambert said it’s “not the way we want to play that team” — loose on structure in defensive coverage and the neutral zone.
Can’t argue that goals are fun though, especially in preseason.
