On Thursday night, Nikita Gusev scored his second goal of the season for the New Jersey Devils. The New York Islanders inquired about the Russian forward in the offseason but decided to pass. Was that a mistake?
You’re probably like me when I saw that Gusev scored yet again for the Devils I immediately thought the New York Islanders could have used him on their roster.
The Islanders top six isn’t exactly their strength. On Friday, against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tom Kuhnhackl is likely to feature next to Brock Nelson and Josh Bailey.
