Islanders’ Barry Trotz may tinker with lineup before key Game 4
NY Post
At what point would Islanders head coach Barry Trotz feel it’s necessary to make a change in his lineup?
The Islanders aren’t a team that often shakes up its lines. That’s a testament to Trotz’s confidence in his combinations and the chemistry that each trio has been able to develop over, not just months, but in some cases, seasons of skating with one another. Trotz really only makes lineup adjustments due to injury. Such was the case when captain Anders Lee underwent ACL surgery in March and was ruled out for the remainder of the season. It happened again when Oliver Wahlstrom sustained a lower-body injury in Game 5 of the first-round playoff series against the Penguins.
