The Best Fourth Line in Hockey
Yes, a lot of people have taken issue with the amount of praise that the Islanders’ fourth line has received over the past couple years.
Guess what? It is night like last night where they show their value. Matt Martin (3 SOG and 2 hits), Cal Clutterbuck (1 G) and Casey Cizikas (5 hits) demonstrated their physicality and mental toughness yet again, punishing Lightning player after player.
After playing against a team that had the edge in terms of size, the Islanders find themselves on the other side of the aisles in this series; so expect them to take full advantage of it when they can. Look no further than what Cizikas did to Erik Condra at the 4:45 mark of the first period…
