"I thought they competed hard, head coach Mike Sullivan said after the game. We're real excited about these guys. They're young players. We think they're getting better and better with each day that they practice with us, with each game that they play. So it's exciting to have these guys in the mix."
"I figured I was coming pretty wide, Laba said. So, just tried to get all the way across the bar post. Make it hard for him to get there."
The New York Rangers prospects beat the New York Islanders 3-2 in preseason action despite being outshot 32-19. Noah Laba scored the overtime winner by deking to the backhand past David Rittich after receiving a pass from Gabe Perreault. The Islanders dressed a near–full NHL-caliber lineup while the Rangers used fringe roster players and prospects. Mike Sullivan praised the young players' competitiveness and steady improvement in practice and games. Veterans, including Vincent Trocheck, noted strong play from prospects such as Gabe Perreault and Laba. The Rangers continue to trim their roster as prospects push for roster spots.
