Eiserman Scores Again<\/p>\n
For the second straight Sunday, Cole Eiserman scored in New Jersey. The 2024 first-round pick one-timed a cross-ice feed from Vladimir Dravecky on a second period power play, beating David Rittich short side.<\/p>\n
It was Eiserman\u2019s first game against NHL players, which he said led to some nerves before the game, but he settled in as it wore on. For the sharpshooter, Sunday marked a chance to test his shot against NHL goalies.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey’re a little bigger, and play a different style. They’re very composed and definitely a lot bigger in the net,\u201d Eiserman said. \u201cObviously, if I want to play in this league, I have to shoot against those goalies. So it was fun to kind of play against Rittich.\u201d<\/p>\n
Engvall Returns to Game Action<\/p>\n
Pierre Engvall played in his first game action since April 17, 2025, skating 16:15 and recording one shot on goal (three total attempts) on a line with Eiserman and Matthew Highmore.<\/p>\n
Vanecek Sharp in Isles Debut<\/p>\n
Vitek Vanecek looked solid in his first outing. It was tough to fault him on the Brown breakaway or the Schmelzer shot off the rush. He earned good marks from DeBoer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cVanecek played well in that for us,\u201d DeBoer said. \u201cIt gives us some good goalie depth in the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
