Searching for a spark after a frustrating shootout loss, Peter DeBoer benches key veterans and retools his forward groups to instill discipline before a high-stakes Toronto showdown.
New York Islanders head coach Peter DeBoer has made multiple lineup adjustments ahead of Saturday's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The changes follow a 2-1 shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators on Thursday, during which DeBoer benched Cal Ritchie, Anthony Duclair, and Matthew Kessel in the third period.
