The Islanders tried out a pair of new-look lines on Saturday, as John Tavares skated with Mathew Barzal and Jordan Eberle while Anthony Beauvillier centered Anders Lee and Josh Bailey.
The Tavares-Barzal-Eberle line got a few reps in together in Friday's loss in Washington, coming together after the Islanders found themselves down two forwards. Head Coach Doug Weight said he wants to see more of what the line - which pairs the Islanders top two forwards in Barzal and Tavares - can do.
