DeBoer Praises Aitcheson, Young Isles For Poise Inside MSG

The game was full of big moments for the Islanders, but the number one highlight has to be Semyon Varlamov 's return to the NHL, even in preseason form.

Beyond the emotional Varlamov return, the Islanders ran out a mostly-NHL lineup on Tuesday night. Cole Eiserman and Kashawn Aitcheson both played, as did Victor Eklund .

Eklund and Eiserman skated with Jean-Gabriel Pageau , and had a very strong game as a whole as a line.
