Braydon Coburn didn’t have to wait too long for his Islanders’ debut.
The 36-year-old defenseman was in Sunday night’s lineup against the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center after being a healthy scratch in back-to-back losses against the Bruins to start the road trip. Coburn was acquired a week ago from the Senators for a seventh-round pick.
The left-shooting Coburn replaced righty Noah Dobson as lefty Andy Greene moved to his off-side to pair with Coburn.
"They need a little breather and I’d like to see what he can bring to the lineup before too long," coach Barry Trotz said.
