– Cool night for Veremyev, Terry and Berg, who each found the back of the net. It was Veremyev’s first-career postseason goal with a celebration to match, deflecting a Sean Day – who was making his preseason debut – feed in front of the net. Veremyev, a Monroe Township, NJ, native grew up coming to games at MSG and had friends in attendance.
“It’s probably one of the cooler moments I’ve experienced,” Veremyev said. “It was special. I just tried to soak in every moment coming to the rink tonight.”
Veremyev also led the Islanders with six hits, so he hit the scoresheet in a variety of ways. He’s looking to make an impression in camp as he enters his first pro season.
“It’s eye opening and shocking, but it lets me know that I can kind of play at this level and keep up with these guys,” Veremyev said. “It’s a big step, but there’s a lot more to grow on and develop in my game. So just a step in the right direction for now.”
