Big Story: There haven't been too many bright spots for the Islanders this season, but they had one on Saturday night when forward Michael Grabner won the Fastest Skater event at the Honda SuperSkills competition at the RBC Center.
Grabner, a waiver claim by the Islanders in October, has been highly impressive as of late. He now ranks third on the club with 15 goals. Six of those goals have been scored in the last eight games.
"It's not a skill everyone has, so I'm lucky, I guess," Grabner said of his speed. I was hoping I would be in the event. That's what my game is based on -- speed. So I was excited when heard I was in the event."
