The Unorthodox Islanders Are Finding Their New Top Line's Groove: We Are Tapping into Each Other's Strengths'

Unfortunately for them though, when their lives changed in an instantaneous flash! So much for that plan to improve our lot!……………… Horvat recorded the shootout winner as hard work was evident throughout, yet there were also flashy plays like his backhand pass that showed flashiness as part of their effort. Overall, these efforts seem in sync right now for this trio. Lee said after their win in Ottawa: “We played simply. Bo and Pageau both had great games; their solid circle play allows us to find our spots with one another; our understanding of where each wants to be is strong, communication is fantastic and feeding into each other’s strengths is tremendous – these factors combine so you get pucks on your stick that allow for making plays; I thought Bo and Pager both did an outstanding job of that tonight!”
