Islanders put Strome back in lineup after two-game benching
Ryan Strome’s benching lasted two games. The 23-year-old forward got back into the Islanders’ offense-starved lineup on Wednesday, taking Alan Quine’s spot for the game against the Penguins.
“We’ve had some good talks over the last few days,” Jack Capuano said. “He’s been real good. He knows where his game needs to be. He’s one of those guys, for me, he cares so much. He wants to play better. He knows that he can. Just want to continue to have communication with him. What can we do better to continue to try to help him?”
