Lane Lambert knew by the time he spoke to reporters before Tuesday’s game that Samuel Bolduc would be in the lineup. But when asked about the 22-year-old defenseman, who had played four games with the Islanders but looked likely to be a healthy scratch Tuesday, the coach kept his poker face.
Lambert then spoke of the learning opportunity that comes with being here, “and then with practicing and watching the games” if a call-up isn’t in the lineup. Only Bolduc wasn’t watching and learning duringKraken. He drew into the lineup with Alexander Romanov missing the match for personal reasons, and made an immediate impact, scoring his first NHL goal 7:59 into the game with a wrist shot that beat Martin Jones from the left point.
The reasons for Romanov’s absence are unknown, though his wife, Sofia, gave birth last week. Lambert, though, said postgame he’s not expected to miss an extended period of time. That means Bolduc would have to push someone out of the lineup to get in. For a team that’s struggled to break the puck out, that’s a valuable skill. And for a player trying to break into the lineup, this was a good night.
