Wednesday started with excitement for William Dufour. It ended in disappointment, as Dufour made his NHL debut for the Islanders,
The benching came after Dufour committed turnovers leading to each of Boston’s first two goals. That was, to some degree, the risk the Islanders took in letting the 20-year-old make his debut against the best team in the league — and they ended up paying for it.
Whether Dufour, who drew in for Simon Holmstrom, will stay in the lineup on Thursday in Buffalo is an open question. The thought in calling him up was that the big-bodied forward could add a needed spark to the offense. At least on Wednesday, that didn’t happen, as Dufour finished with just 6:48 total ice time.
He started Wednesday on the top line, with Mathew Barzal and Josh Bailey, but before long, Anthony Beauvillier was playing in that spot instead.It might now be more like a dream delayed.
