Leo Komarov, Andrew Ladd, Jordan Eberle, Matt Martin, Tom Kuhnhackl, those are the New York Islanders forwards currently out right now. Despite being down four forwards, the Isles are riding high on a seven-game win streak.
Coach Barry Trotz was forced to shuffle up his lines quite a bit to compensate for all these injuries and one move, in particular, is paying off major dividends.
He moved Derick Brassard to wing, and since that move, he has scored in three straight games. It's safe to say, Barry Trotz has the Midas Touch.
Brassard was struggling out of the gate as the Islanders third-line center.
