Michael Dal Colle didn’t appear to be on the cusp of his season’s debut as he skated as an extra forward during the Islanders’ practice on Saturday.
But Barry Trotz didn’t sound like a coach about to make Dal Colle, 22, the fifth overall pick in 2014 who was recalled from Bridgeport on Thursday, a healthy scratch for the second straight game when the Islanders face the Stars on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center to conclude a three-game homestand.
“Good chance,” Trotz said when asked whether Dal Colle would be in Sunday’s lineup.
Further, there was this response when Trotz was asked what he expected from Dal Colle.
