a power-play marker last Wednesday agains the Chicago Blackhawks. People are still talking about the behind the legs cross creas dish Chiasson made to Larkin. In Sunday’s 4-3 win over Boston, Chiasson scored once with the man advantage and was screening Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman on another power-pllay tally. I think that has a part to do with it and then that timing of when to take the goalie’s eyes, when to be available, those are things we’re looking for.”Ĭhiasson has directly factored in all four power-play goals scored by the Red Wings over the past three games. “Puck support, being able to be available. But there’s a lot more than size that goes into net front expertise. And at 6-foot-4 and 208 pounds, he’s in possession of the physical tools to make him play effectively there. No one needed to explain the value of net front work to Chiasson. But he was never able to convince Mantha to embrace the concept. Blashill went as far as to show Mantha footage of a master of the role, James van Riemsdyk of the Philadelphia Flyers. During his Detroit tenure, coach Jeff Blashill sought to convince Anthony Mantha that he’d be a 30-goal scorer were he willing to occupy the net front on a regular basis. Not everyone is cut out to be filling the role. “We want to get to a situation where there’s some kind of mandate to use it,” Daly said. The league would like to make skate cut-protective equipment on wrists and legs mandatory. The league’s approach to fights that take place after clean hits was also discussed in a series of breakout sessions, Daly said, adding that the topic is likely to come up again over the next two days. Now, according to Daly, another expansion is “a possibility” based on how the rest of the meetings unfold. The league’s most recent tweaks to the system came before the 2019-20 season, most notably attaching a two-minute delay of game minor to a failed challenge of any sort, rather than simply a missed offside. Defenseman Noah Dobson's shot from the slot clipped off the stick of Palmieri with 4:19 left before Lee scored seconds after a Red Wings turnover.From Michael Russo and Sean Gentile of The Athletic,Īn expansion of the NHL coach’s challenge system to include reviews of same-team high-stick penalties and incorrect “puck over glass” calls was discussed on Day 1 of the league’s general manager meetings, deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. The Islanders put the game away with two insurance goals in a span of 1:41 late in the period. His shot was redirected by Lee as the New York captain battled for position in front of the net with Red Wings defenseman Olli Maatta. Casey Cizikas outdueled Larkin and the puck bounced to Hudson Fasching, who immediately fired from the slot. Sebastian Aho weaved through the neutral zone before passing to Palmieri, whose shot clipped off Aho's stick and was deflected by Hellberg before Parise swooped in and buried the rebound.Ī faceoff win by the Islanders led to Lee's game-winner just 2:28 later. Parise tied the score following an end-to-end rush 2:11 into the third period. The center corralled the puck, turned and tucked a shot over Sorokin's right leg. Detroit converted as Larkin scored with 1:01 left in the second period.ĭavid Perron, defenseman Moritz Seider and Robby Fabbri exchanged the puck in an around-the-horn sequence before Fabbri dished back to Seider, who passed into the crease to Larkin.

Ilya Sorokin made 22 saves for the Islanders.Ĭaptain Dylan Larkin scored in the second period and Magnus Hellberg made 32 saves for the Red Wings, who have lost five straight games (0-4-1).
