Islanders' Robin Lehner: Supported well, leaves late in win

Lehner made 28 saves on 30 shots in Thursday's 7-2 road win over the Kings. However, deep into the third period, he sustained an apparent injury upon getting hit in the mask with a shot, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports, adding that there was no immediate update available from coach Barry Trotz.

Thomas Greiss stepped in for Lehner and played the final 7:04. Lehner benefited from two-way star Anze Kopitar (illness) missing the game, but that's not to undercut his brilliance in this road victory. He came up with a number of big saves and each of his goals allowed took place on Los Angeles power-play opportunities. We'd expect Lehner to be reevaluated ahead of Saturday's road game against the Sharks -- if not sooner.
