BOSTON — Anders Lee and Oliver Wahlstrom, the two injured Islanders whose absences directly have led to Travis Zajac’s latest playoff opportunity, were on the ice working during Monday’s optional morning skate. The former is said to be out for the season and the latter is still day-to-day.
Meanwhile, Zajac, the 36-year-old former Devil, is appreciating the moment and his chance to contribute to the Islanders’ postseason run.
