He couldn’t get through the third unscathed, but did finish with 38 saves. The Swedish netminder joined the Islanders as a free agent over the summer after three seasons with the Buffalo Sabres.“I thought Robin was solid,” Trotz added. “We took a penalty and they capitalized at the end. We weren’t on our toes enough.”Yandle, who previously skated for the Arizona Coyotes and New York Rangers, played his 723rd consecutive game. He is 15 games from passing Jay Bouwmeester for sixth place in NHL history.“We’ll enjoy the two points tonight and hopefully this will give us some momentum,” Hoffman said.NOTES: The Islanders had a video tribute to Charles Wang, the team’s former majority owner who passed away at 74 last Sunday. … The Islanders announced their home game against Toronto on Feb. 28 — the return of former captain John Tavares — would be at Nassau Coliseum instead of Barclays Center in Brooklyn. … The Islanders visit the Panthers in Florida on Nov. 10 and April 4. … The Islanders scratched forwards Tom Kuhnhackl and Ross Johnston Colorado Avalanche T-Shirts Authentic , plus defenseman Lucas Sbisa. … Florida scratched forward Derek MacKenzie and Denis Malgin, plus defenseman Mark Pysyk.UP NEXTIslanders: Visit Philadelphia on Saturday.Panthers: Visit New Jersey Devils on Saturday.
