The Islanders\u2019 experimentation with Adam Boqvist at forward isn\u2019t over quite yet.<\/p>\n
The defenseman got another shot playing up front on Monday with Hudson Fasching out with illness, taking Fasching\u2019s spot on the right side of the third line. <\/p>\n
Boqvist centered the fourth line for a game a couple weeks ago in Anaheim when Kyle MacLean was ill.<\/p>\n
Not only that, but Boqvist put up a pair of assists as the Islanders lost 4-3 to the Blue Jackets in a shootout.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst of all it was funny because he wanted to see some clips,\u201d coach Patrick Roy said pregame. \u201cSo I love that the players care. They want to do well, doesn\u2019t matter [where]. I think you\u2019re going in a stretch, whatever you can do to help the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think any defenseman, we ask them to play forward, they would all say yes. I think these guys all just want to try and make the playoffs. That\u2019s all they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
With Matt Martin being the only extra forward, it appears the coaching staff would prefer to play Boqvist out of position, since he can also contribute on the power play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he did well,\u201d Roy said afterward. \u201cIt\u2019s not easy for a guy \u2014 10-minute practice, that\u2019s all he had. I guess he did really well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Monday was Boqvist\u2019s first game in the lineup since he suffered a shoulder injury on March 11. <\/p>\n
He and Alexander Romanov also came down sick in between, and though it\u2019s not clear MacLean, Boqvist, Romanov and Fasching all caught the same illness, the Islanders have been dealing with an unusual amount of sickness lately.<\/p>\n
Roy used an unrelated question on Monday to make a point about the Islanders penalty kill, saying it upsets him to see people overlook the unit\u2019s dramatic improvement since the new year.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt bothers me when people are saying our PK sucks. Our PK doesn\u2019t suck,\u201d he said. \u201cSince January 1, we\u2019re like eighth in the league in penalty killing at 81 percent. Eighty-one percent is pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, we had a tough start on PK, I\u2019ll admit that, but since January 1, our PK is top-1 in the NHL so we gotta stop saying, \u2018When you look at [season-long] statistics, the Islanders are at the bottom of the league\u2019 \u2014 no. We\u2019re not at the bottom of the league. We\u2019re in the top of the league the way we\u2019ve been killing penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
