NYI Hockey Now: For New York Islanders forward Oliver Wahlstrom, the 2021-22 season was a tough one. Head coach Barry Trotz was rather hard on the 21-year-old.

NYI Hockey Now: New York Islanders head coach Lane Lambert has not shared much vocally in terms of his game plan entering preseason or the NHL season, for that matter. “We’re not married to anything right now,” Lambert said on Saturday after three straight days of training camp. While the new bench boss is not setting anything in stone, his on-the-ice pairings and line combinations certainly tell us where his head is at, as a starting point. New York Islanders.

This summer, they addressed that, bringing in a more offensively-focused coach and adding Mason Marchment upfront and Nils Lundkvist on the blue line, along with some healthy bodies and young superstar prospects. But what about the other side of the ice? Will all of this attention on the offense hurt the Dallas defense? Dallas Stars.
