\n The unique postseason bubble makes for some new experiences, but there isn\u2019t a whole lot that the men behind the benches for the Islanders-Flyers series haven\u2019t already seen.<\/p>\n

Barry Trotz and Alain Vigneault will square off once again when their teams\u2019 second-round playoff series begins Monday night in Toronto, pitting the two most experienced head coaches left in the postseason against each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I\u2019ve coached against Barry quite a few times in the playoffs,\u201d Vigneault, the former Rangers coach, said Sunday on a Zoom call. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be a greasy series.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vigneault has gotten the best of Trotz in their prior two playoff meetings \u2014 his Canucks beat Trotz\u2019s Predators in the 2011 Western Conference semifinals and his Rangers beat Trotz\u2019s Capitals in a memorable seven-game<\/a> series in 2015.<\/p>\n

Much as Trotz has done since he arrived on Long Island, Vigneault, who was fired by the Rangers in 2018, has made an instant impact on the Flyers since getting the job last summer and has them playing well at the right time.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth coaches put a lot of emphasis on the winning areas of playoff hockey,\u201d said Flyers defenseman Matt Niskanen, who won the Stanley Cup with Trotz and the Capitals in 2018.<\/p>\n

Trotz and Capitals coach Todd Reirden shared just a quick handshake after the Islanders completed their dismantling of Washington in the playoffs Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Islanders coach had a similarly unemotional response Sunday when asked about Reirden \u2014 who replaced him in Washington in 2018 \u2014 getting fired.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s part of what you sign up [for in] coaching,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cThat\u2019s what you accept when you become a head coach in the National Hockey League. Just wish him well.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was an uncharacteristically short answer by Trotz, who resigned soon after winning the Cup in 2018, unable to work out a new contract with management. The Capitals hired Reirden, who had spent four years on Trotz\u2019s staff.<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Ross Johnston made his playoff debut Thursday, stepping into the lineup for the injured Cal Clutterbuck and contributing a solid game. With the expanded rosters for the postseason bubble, Johnston was one of 10 Islanders scratches who were trying to stay sharp until their number was called.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think we have a good group of guys that kind of push each other,\u201d Johnston said. \u201cNot being able to be in the lineup each night is obviously difficult, but with the group of guys we have \u2026 coming to the rink every day, we\u2019re trying to push each other in a way where you\u2019re physically ready if the opportunity does present itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trotz said everyone was on the ice Sunday for the Islanders\u2019 practice, but declined to divulge the status of Clutterbuck or any potential lineup changes.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
