“#Andy Greene comes up big for Islanders in Game<\/a> 2 win<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The fact veteran defenseman Andy Greene was a healthy scratch in Game 1 of the Islanders\u2019 best-of-five play-in series<\/a> against the Panthers says a lot about the team\u2019s depth on defense.<\/p>\n

Greene, acquired in a trade from the Devils in February, made his series debut Tuesday after Johnny Boychuk was deemed unfit to play following a late and high hit in the second period Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndy is a real true pro,\u201d Islanders coach Barry Trotz said on a Zoom call following the 4-2 win over the Panthers on Tuesday. \u201cWhen we acquired him, we acquired him to play big minutes and that was a very difficult decision not to start him in Game 1. I felt strongly, when it was all set and done, that the traditional Islanders get the first crack at it. Andy came in and is now an Islander, when Johnny went down it\u2019s a great replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playing on the right side of Nick Leddy on Tuesday, Greene looked like a defenseman with 50 playoff games under his belt. He earned a secondary assist after pinching on the right side of the ice to send the puck back in to Tom Kuhnhackl, who dished it to Matt Martin for Islanders\u2019 first tally of the night at 6:12 of the second.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a read I had there, I felt like we had good coverage over behind me and got a good stick on it, obviously they did the rest,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s always nice when you can come in and contribute whether it\u2019s, not necessarily in points but for me, it\u2019s on the PK and being a calming presence out there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trotz opted to roll with four left-handed defenseman (Greene, Leddy, Adam Pelech and Devon Toews) and two righties (Ryan Pulock, Scott Mayfield). It was Greene who was challenged with skating on the right side, something he said he hadn\u2019t done in a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have played it, but it\u2019s been quite a few years,\u201d the 37-year-old Greene said. \u201cWith playing on your offside there, it\u2019s really important to make sure you\u2019re in good position, you know what you\u2019re doing with the puck and you\u2019re always constantly shoulder checking because obviously you\u2019ve got that blind side there to your right.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeen in all these situations before, over my career I was a healthy scratch in the playoffs so I know what to expect when this happ<\/a>ens.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Trotz had emphasized just how important the Islanders\u2019 special teams were going to be against the Panthers, and that proved to be the case early in Game 2.<\/p>\n

The Islanders went 2-for-7 with the man-advantage Tuesday afternoon, bringing the team\u2019s total power-play goals this series to three following Anthony Beauvillier\u2019s game-deciding power-play goal in Saturday\u2019s win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you\u2019re finding is our power play is getting a little bit of confidence, they\u2019re trusting that they don\u2019t have to be as fancy,\u201d Trotz said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

The Panthers were called for eight total penalties, including a 10-minute game misconduct to Brian Boyle for getting into it with Scott Mayfield, who only received a two-minute roughing penalty for the kerfuffle. But being on the penalty kill so much tired the Panthers, who only had four man-advantage opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when it comes to the playoffs, special teams is so key,\u201d Pulock said. \u201cThey got a pretty lethal power play over there and we as a power play got to try and get ourselves a goal when we can or just get some momentum. Obviously tonight some big goals and I think even when we didn\u2019t score we were able to get some momentum and take some control over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Panthers defenseman Mike Matheson was fined $2,500 for high-sticking Brock Nelson at 6:18 of the first period, the league announced following the game. It was called a double minor and put Matheson in the box for four minutes. Just over nine minutes later, Matheson was penalized again for trip<\/a>ping Josh Bailey.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
