Young Isles shine in preseason opener
Prince Leads Prospect-Filled Lineup in 3-0 Victory over Flyers
Shane Prince, who scored three goals during the New York Islanders’ push to the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, kicked off the 2016-17 preseason in style.
Prince snapped a scoreless deadlock at 4:28 of the third period Monday night at Downtown’s Barclays Center, spurring the new-look Islanders to a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers in the preseason opener for both teams.
“A young team dressed, a lot of guys in their first game of exhibition, I thought they played really well,” said Prince, who is hardly a seasoned veteran himself, with only 64 regular-season NHL games under his belt.
