ANAHEIM, Calif. \u2014 Kyle MacLean was out of Sunday\u2019s lineup with illness, so the Islanders tried something way out of left field.<\/p>\n
Adam Boqvist, a defenseman, centered the fourth line in MacLean\u2019s spot as the Islanders went with a lineup that was technically 11 forwards and seven defenseman, with the intent of playing as if it were 12 and eight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI kind of asked him if he\u2019s open,\u201d coach Patrick Roy said before a 4-1 loss to the Ducks. \u201cHe said whatever helps the team to win. That\u2019s what we want from our guys.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott Mayfield drew back in on defense while Matt Martin, activated off injured reserve Saturday, was a healthy scratch.<\/p>\n
Boqvist ultimately played 10:52 of ice, with 8:13 of that coming at even strength, accounting for one shot on net on a line with Pierre Engvall and Marc Gatcomb, with Engvall taking faceoffs.<\/p>\n
The current setup of the Islanders roster, with 13 forwards and nine defensemen, lends itself to something like this happening if a forward is out. <\/p>\n
And Boqvist, being the most offensive defenseman on the team, was the coaching staff\u2019s first choice to step up as a forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cAppreciate that,\u201d Roy said. \u201cAppreciate what he did and I thought he had a good game.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the NHL level, it might be a first [for him],\u201d Roy said. \u201cBut at the same time, he\u2019s so good offensively. He\u2019ll play down low for these guys [Marc Gatcomb and Pierre Engvall], and he\u2019ll be on the rush. We\u2019ll see how it goes. It\u2019s to start the game, isn\u2019t it?\u201d<\/p>\n
After being activated off injured reserve Saturday, Marcus Hogberg was in net for the Islanders on Sunday, giving Ilya Sorokin a rare day off.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe worked so hard after the injury,\u201d Roy said of Hogberg, who suffered a presumed hand injury Jan. 25. \u201cHe was on the ice almost every day with [goalie coach] Piero [Greco]. He was not receiving shots, but he was getting himself ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the shots came, he was confident enough the puck won\u2019t go on his finger, hit the shaft of his stick and go on his finger. Overall, it\u2019s nice to see someone working so hard, at that opportunity. \u2026 The last game he played against Carolina, he played so well. We\u2019re happy to see him back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hogberg, who might be the backup for the rest of the season with Semyon Varlamov\u2019s status murky at best, stopped 22-of-25 shots in front of a leaky Islanders defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all, it was fun to play again, to play in a game,\u201d Hogberg said. \u201cLittle bit rusty, but it helped me the more the game went on. I felt more comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kyle Palmieri missed the last 7:38 of the second period with an apparent injury but returned to play in the third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
