PITTSBURGH \u2014 Adam Pelech was back in the lineup for the Islanders, but Tuesday was not the long-awaited day they could play their six opening-night defenseman for the first time since Oct. 25.<\/p>\n
The rotating carousel of ailments landed this time on Alexander Romanov, who missed the 4-2 comeback win over the Penguins due to illness. <\/p>\n
Adam Boqvist was also sick, though it\u2019s unclear whether the Swede would have been ready to play either way after missing the past two games with an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a weird season, I won\u2019t lie,\u201d coach Patrick Roy said pregame. \u201cThe number of injuries, guys being sick and so on, seems to me like it never ends. Hopefully that\u2019s the last one and we can play with a healthy lineup.\u201d<\/p>\n
The issue with Pelech\u2019s foot after blocking a shot late in Friday night\u2019s loss to Edmonton, at least, turned out to be short term \u2014 a relief given he missed extended time earlier this season with a broken jaw.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m feeling great,\u201d Pelech said. \u201cUnfortunately I wasn\u2019t quite ready to go against Florida [on Sunday]. I would\u2019ve loved to be out there, just wasn\u2019t quite ready, but now I\u2019m feeling good. Close to 100 percent and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pelech skated a season-high 26:00 on the top pair with Tony DeAngelo \u2014 a first this season as DeAngelo has partnered Romanov every game since being signed in late January. <\/p>\n
The other two pairs \u2014 Ryan Pulock with Noah Dobson and Mike Reilly with Scott Mayfield \u2014 were the same as Sunday night\u2019s win over Florida.<\/p>\n
His 12 shot attempts were also a season high, including five that went on net, with the defenseman noticeably more aggressive shooting the puck than usual.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think that a big part of the comebacks the last two games have just kind of been sticking with the process,\u201d Pelech told The Post after the game. \u201cYou can\u2019t force it and try to start making individual plays. You need to have discipline, have belief in your system and know that eventually we\u2019ll start getting the bounces and the puck will go in the net.\u201d<\/p>\n
Roy said he thought Rickard Rakell\u2019s stick hit Ilya Sorokin\u2019s stick on Sidney Crosby\u2019s first-period goal, leading him to challenge the play for goaltender interference.<\/p>\n
The Islanders lost the challenge, though they killed off the ensuing penalty. <\/p>\n
Roy is now 6-4 this season on challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey thought it was an incidental contact with Bo Horvat. That I had a hard time to understand,\u201d Roy said. \u201cIt\u2019s behind us. Let\u2019s focus on the win and the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
