Yesterday was the first day of New York Islanders training camp, but today was the first day of the on-ice portion of camp. And while you should never take lines or pairs too seriously from the first day of training camp, seeing Noah Dobson and Zdeno Chara together is incredible.
Again, these lines or pairs might not stay together for the entirety of the season. But putting Dobson next to Chara on day one tells you why they brought in the big man. Not only is he still an effective defenseman, but he’s one hell of a mentor.
