Yan Kaminsky isn't the answer, general manager Don Maloney said when
he traded for him earlier this week. Whatever questions Kaminsky answers
about the Islanders' future, he answered a big question about the present
yesterday when he scored a goal in their 3-2 victory over the Nordiques
at Le Colisee.
Making his Islanders debut on a line with Ray Ferraro and Patrick Flatley,
Kaminsky scored at 17:36 of the second period to give the Islanders a 2-1
lead. The 22-year-old Russian wing, obtained from the Jets for defenseman
Wayne McBean, played simply and solidly, just as his road roommate told
him. "I told him to play his game, keep {it} simple," Darius Kasparaitis
said. "I told him {to} play good."
"I told him, `Go score,' " Ferraro said with a wry smile after the game.
"Everybody talked to me before the game," Kaminsky said. "They said,
`C'mon, play good.' "
So he did.
Kaminsky set up his goal by carrying the puck across the Nordiques'
blue line on right wing, then feeding the puck to Flatley, who moved it
to Ferraro on his left. Goalie Stephane Fiset and the Nordiques' defense
moved out to cover Ferraro's angle, and Ferraro found Kaminsky alone in
front of an open net for the rookie's first NHL goal.
The victory was especially important because the Nordiques are one of
the clubs the Islanders are chasing in the race for the final Eastern Conference
playoff spot. The Isles already had lost two games to the Nordiques this
season and didn't look as if they would fare any better when the Nordiques
dominated the first half of the first period.
But Jamie McLennan kept the Islanders in the game with a terrific effort
in goal, and then Benoit Hogue scored at 7:00 of the first to give the
Islanders the lead. After Uwe Krupp pinched in to keep the puck in the
offensive zone, Steve Thomas tried to stuff the puck under Fiset, who was
sprawled on the ice. When it came loose, Hogue was free to the left of
the goal and had an easy shot for his fourth goal against the Nordiques
this season.
The Nordiques tied it when Ron Sutter scored at the end of a two-on-one
with Valeri Kamensky. Kamensky held the puck to the left of McLennan, drawing
him to him, then found Sutter on the right side for the goal at 1:17 of
the second period.
From that point on, the Islanders carried most of the play, however,
and got a 3-1 lead when Travis Green scored at the end of a three-on-one
break-in at 10:50 of the third. The Nordiques' Reggie Savage scored at
16:43 to make it a one-goal game, but McLennan preserved the lead.
Arbour said he is gaining added confidence in McLennan. "He played with
a lot of poise," Arbour said. "He held his ground and wasn't making the
first move. He played a great game in Boston {a 2-1 loss eight days ago}
without getting anything for it."
All season, the Islanders have had great difficulty winning close games,
especially low-scoring ones. This was their first victory this season while
scoring fewer than four goals.
It is unlikely that Kaminsky understands the desperation of the Islanders'
position. He's had only two practices and though he was eligible to play
against the Rangers on Wednesday, Arbour didn't use him in such an important
and intense game. The coach isn't about to put a big burden on the youngster's
shoulders, though he is likely to use him more and more. Arbour doesn't
see language as a barrier to Kaminsky's improvement.
"It doesn't matter what language he speaks," Arbour said. "If a player
has good hockey sense, he can adjust. He's adjusting very well."
Ferraro said he had no problems working with his new linemate. "It was
tough at first, but it always is with somebody new," he said. "As the game
went on, it got easier and easier to play with him. I knew where he was
going to be and he knew where I was going to be."
That was the international language of hockey that translated into an
important goal in an important victory at an important time of the season.

Yan Kaminsky has waited patiently to become a part of the Islanders.
With a smile on his face and an English book in his bag, Kaminsky has waited
for his opportunity to get into the lineup, and prove he belongs there.
The 22-year-old Russian, obtained from the Jets for Wayne McBean on
Feb. 1, scored the opening goal in the Islanders' 3-2 victory over New
Jersey Tuesday night. That was his second goal as an Islander; his first
came in his first game, against Quebec on Feb. 5. But he failed to score
in his next six games and when Pierre Turgeon returned to the lineup from
a facial injury on Feb. 19, Kaminsky was
What a time to have to prove yourself. The Islanders, chasing the Panthers
and Flyers for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, are in a stretch
when they play three of the NHL's best teams - the Red Wings, Sabres and
Penguins - in a fourday span. And with exactly one NHL game under his belt
before the trade from Winnipeg, Kaminsky has much to learn about playing
in this league and for this team.
Al Arbour put him in the lineup against the Blues because he was looking
for more offensive punch from his fourth line. Then Brad Dalgarno got hurt
near the end of that game and Kaminsky was moved up to a line with Travis
Green and Marty McInnis. Last night Dalgarno returned to the lineup, but
Kaminsky took the injured McInnis' place on the line.
Arbour is impressed by two aspects of Kaminsky's game: his attitude
and his hockey sense. "He's not afraid to stick his nose in," said Arbour,
who is partial to players with a nose for the fray. "He blends in well
with the guys on this team. And with experience I think he will be a real
good defensive player because he reads the play so well."
That's not all he reads. He carries with him English books and uses
his spare time on the road to study. When he was in Winnipeg, he was the
only player of the many Europeans there to attend all the English classes.
"He tries real hard to be part of the team and he feels like the guys welcomed
him," said Tom Kurvers, his road roommate. "He feels a lot more comfortable
with our club. I think he's surprised that we're so together. In Winnipeg
it was like that, with guys talking behind other guys' backs."
While he was scratched, Kaminsky made a point of coming into the dressing
room after the game to offer congratulations or condolences, as appropriate,
to teammates he barely knew. "He really seems sincere about it," Kurvers
said.
On Tuesday night, his teammates were offering congratulations for his
goal against the Devils, a one-timer from the left circle. It's the kind
of shot goalie Ron Hextall had told him at practice the day before that
he has to be shooting.
"He's a bright young kid with some talent," Hextall said. That's what
Islanders management thinks as well.

The Russian economy may not be producing much these days, but the Denver
Grizzlies' Russian line certainly is.
Yan Kaminsky and Andrei Vasiljev, both from the former Soviet Union,
hooked up to break a 3-3 tie with 6:14 left in the game and propelled the
Grizzlies to a 6-3 victory over the Phoenix Roadrunners last night at McNichols
Sports Arena.
Vasiljev has been with the Grizzlies the entire season, but has had
some problems adusting to American life. He speaks almost no English and
has had almost nobody to talk to in Denver.
But he's got a friend in Kaminsky. And since Kaminsky's arrival from
the New York Islanders last month, Vasiljev has been rejuvenated.
For the 10th time in the last 13 games, Vasiljev notched a point with
his one assist last night.
Just 3:10 after Denver's Jeff Madill scored his second goal of the game
to tie the Roadrunners, Vasiljev streaked down the right side against Phoenix
goalie Byron Dafoe.
Vasiljev sent a crossing pass from the circle onto the stick of a streaking
Kaminsky, who one-timed a wrist shot past Dafoe for his fourth goal of
the season.
Grizzlies coach Butch Goring had a feeling the addition of Kaminsky
would be a boon to Vasiljev.
"(Kaminsky) gives Vasiljev someone to communicate with on the ice and
keeps him going," Goring said. "It's been good for them to be on the same
line together.
"It allowed me to move (center) Chris Taylor on another line and freed
those guys up."
The Grizzlies (37-14-2) were in danger of losing their second straight
game at home, something that has not happened in this debut season.
The International Hockey League's leading scorer, Phoenix's Yanic Perreault,
scored his 46th goal of the season to put the Roadrunners up 3-2 late in
the second period.
That's the way it stayed until Madill poked in his 25th goal at the
10:36 mark of the third.
The Grizzlies, as in Friday night's game against Phoenix, had a big
shot advantage (40-28). But until the late fireworks, they seemed to do
everything but score. The Grizzlies were often guilty of overpassing.
"Trying to get the guys to shoot has been an ongoing battle," Goring
said. "They always want to make the pretty play.
"But we found a way to win. In your own building in the third period,
you have to find a way and show a little character and determination, which
we did."
Denver's Kip Miller also scored two goals for the Grizzlies, who went
5-1 on the homestand. Chris Taylor, sent down from the Islanders for the
second time in less than two weeks, scored his 29th goal for Denver.
NOTES: The Grizzlies added some needed depth to their roster yesterday
with the addition of defenseman Paul Stanton.
Stanton, 27, was sent down to Denver after being acquired by the New
York Islanders from Boston. Stanton has 277 games of NHL experience and
won two Stanley Cup rings with Pittsburgh. |
