Islanders' Alan Quine: In Thursday's lineup

Quine will play Thursday night against the Flyers.

Analysis:

Quine is getting the nod over Anthony Beauvillier, as the Islanders are buying time to decide whether to burn the first year of Beauvillier's entry-level contract. Quine has produced one goal in six games this season, and while that's not exactly an impressive output, the 23-year-old is on the map after adding five points in 10 games during the 2016 postseason.
