LOS ANGELES \u2014 A year ago, Kyle MacLean burst onto the Islanders scene like a supernova, playing with an energy and verve that rejuvenated the fourth line for a late run into the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Year 2 for the 25-year-old has followed a tougher course.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m definitely still learning,\u201d MacLean \u2014 who was in the lineup against the Kings after missing Sunday\u2019s loss to Anaheim with illness \u2014 told The Post before the Islanders\u2019 4-1 loss to the Kings on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. \u201cI did get up last year, but this is my first full year from camp on. Maybe you can say that\u2019s a little bit of it. Definitely don\u2019t want an excuse or anything. I\u2019ve still got a job to do. I have to perform.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post-Identity Line fourth line has faced much rougher sledding than anticipated. <\/p>\n
MacLean\u2019s linemates have rotated on a near-constant basis all season \u2014 the most he\u2019s played with one combination has been 13 games \u2014 in part due to injuries and in part because no combination has been particularly effective.<\/p>\n
MacLean, who played 9:06 in the loss, and Marc Gatcomb, who have made up two-thirds of the fourth line since Gatcomb\u2019s mid-January call-up, are also both on a learning curve in the NHL.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think when you get called up for the first time, it\u2019s not necessarily riding a high, but it\u2019s sort of a different feeling,\u201d MacLean said. \u201cThings can\u2019t go wrong. You kind of have a little more adrenaline. And you can\u2019t manufacture that. It\u2019s the way it is for everybody when they\u2019re first up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year, it\u2019s a little more \u2014 it\u2019s different in the sense of it\u2019s from camp on. Things aren\u2019t gonna go well [at points]. You have to figure it out, make sure you don\u2019t let those things affect you. Just gotta keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pierre Engvall moved up to the third line alongside Maxim Tsyplakov and Casey Cizikas, with Hudson Fasching going to the fourth line.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just hope that\u2019s gonna bring the spark [Engvall] needs,\u201d coach Patrick Roy said. \u201cI just hope that Pierre\u2019s gonna play [inside] a little more, drive the net more, bring pucks to the net more, be more involved physically.\u201d<\/p>\n
If MacLean was unable to go Tuesday, the Islanders planned to go with 11 forwards and seven defensemen \u2014 this time with Adam Boqvist on defense instead of playing up as a center.<\/p>\n
Ilya Sorokin was back in net for the Isles after Marcus Hogberg played on Sunday against Anaheim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
