Islanders-Bruins Rookie Game 1


The Islanders’ rookies went down to the Bruins rookies 8-5 only after a late comeback fell short.
Positives were the play of Niederreiter, Kabanov and de Haan.  Persson and Cizikas made an impression as well.  Negatives were the play of Koskinen (.500 sv%) and that Rhakshani went down with a concussion early and will be re-evaluated tomorrow.
Some improvements need to be made before tomorrow’s game on defense and cutting down the sloppy mistakes, especially on PP/PK.
