Zach Parise, as he notched just one goal through his first 32 games with the Islanders, assured his teammates he’s a "second-half player."
"It’s not as if I came into the room and told everyone I was a second-half player," Parise said. "I was just trying to make light of the situation. Hopefully, I’ll be heating up here in the near future."
That future might be now as Parise scored for the second straight game, netting the winner in the Islanders’ 4-3 victory over the reeling Flyers on Tuesday night at UBS Arena as they continued a seven-game homestand.
