One of the biggest criticisms of the New York Islanders offseason was that they spent far too much time on addressing the bottom six. So far, Lou Lamoriello deserves the benefit of the doubt because they have been much improved.
One of the surprise contributors of that free agency class has been Tom Kuhnhackl. He’s only played seven games so far but he’s been extremely effective when on the ice.
Last night he scored his second and third goal of the season surpassing his goal total from the entire 2017-2018 season when he netted just two goals.
