Robin Lehner, now with the New York Islanders, started against the Sabres Friday night (Getty Images).
January 14th - January 21st
Robin Lehner in his last 3 games Robin Lerner has 3 wins. For the first time since the introduction of player of the week UTL will be giving the honor to a goalie. Robin Lehner as had a rough year, the Islanders got out to a slow start and that includes Lehner, but since December the Islanders have only lost 7 games. Lehner has been in the net for 3 wins in his last 3 games, only giving up 2 goals on 67 shots during that span. Lehner has 1 shutout in the last 3 games.
The Islanders define themselves as a defensive team, with an average amount of goals under the league average and having only given up 116 on the season, the Islanders define themselves on their defensive game. With Robin Lehner playing good hockey there is no reason they can not go deep into the playoffs, they currently sit atop the Metropolitan division.
The Islanders do still have a long journey until the playoffs, and things could turn around quickly do to league parody hopefully the Islanders can keep their top defensive stars producing.
