Islanders Ryan Strome Owes Weight a Big Thanks
Ryan Strome’s game picked up big time for the Islanders, coincidentally occurring as Jack Capuano left town and in came Doug Weight. Based on the numbers, Dougie’s going to get a nice Christmas card from Stromer.
With a wrist injury picked up on March 24th, Ryan Strome‘s season was over. He’d played 69 games on the season, netting 13 goals and 17 assists for 30 points.
It was a step up, however slight, from 2015-16 where Strome put up 28 points in a widely underwhelming campaign. A season where he was supposed to galvanize those 50 points he had scored the season before and fit into that fifth overall pick destiny that we’d all written for him.
