Noah Dobson made his NHL debut tonight with the Edmonton Oilers in town as the Islanders closed out their season-opening three-game homestand. He had a beautiful assist in garbage time for his first NHL point, but probably would’ve preferred his first big-league game to be more memorable in a good way.
The Islanders looked a bit sleepy when the puck dropped this evening. As was noted in the game thread, they were a bit disjointed and struggled to keep up with Edmonton. Not that the Oilers were flying or anything (yet); just that New York looked pretty lame.
