The New York Islanders have countless players struggling to play their game this season. One of the more disappointing players this season has been Anthony Beauvillier, who was expected to take his game to another level this season after strong offensive production last season.

Over the last two games, Beauvillier’s inability to do the little things is not just affecting the Islanders offense in a negative way, but has led to goals against. On any other team, his play over the last two games may earn him a spot in the press box, but with the Islanders injuries and their situation in the Metropolitan Division standings, him being the potential threat he is will keep him in the lineup.

Let’s start with his play in the offensive zone.

In the XXX to the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night, Beauvillier had chances, prime chances, to get shots on goal but none of them tested Red Wings netminder Alex Nedelkjovich as they all went wide.
