Preseason Over, Regular Season Starts Tomorrow
October 3rd, 2006 by murph
With two solid wins versus the Rangers (2-1) and Devils (3-0) last weekend, the Islanders’ Preseason is over. Regular season NHL action starts up again tomorrow night - Buffalo @ Carolina, Ottawa @ Toronto and Dallas @ Colorado. Isles get started late Thursday night @ Phoenix.
Jason Blake led the team with 2 goals in 4 games, 8 other players had 1 goal. Alexi Yashin and Tom Poti led the team with 4 points.
Then of course there is the $67.5 million dollar man, who all eyes were on this preseason. Ricky and Mike Dunham’s stats are below. Ricky had a solid preseason with a GAA under 2.00 and a Save% above 90% to go with his 8 penalty minutes (which he was tied for most on the team with Zhitnik). Now can he do that over 60+ games? The saves, not the penalties that is. LCS Hockey has all the NHL Preseason stats here.
