Robin Lehner has been stellar for the New York Islanders. He leads all goalies with a .958 save percentage in the playoffs. In Game 1 vs Carolina, the Isles lost 1-0 in OT but Lehner continued his outstanding goaltending in net. It’s when he left the net to play the puck that problems arose. I counted six times he left the net to play the puck. He had 5 turnovers and 1 other time he fell down behind the net making for a potentially disastrous result.
He should stay in his crease and continue stopping pucks at a high rate. Leave the puck stuff to your defensemen.

Might as well do a Devon Toews montage for game 1 as well, he had a rough one
Uh he threw it up the boards pretty consistently and so where were the Islanders wingers and D? They couldn't figure this out?
Islanders had a ridiculous 10 days off between beating the pens and the beginning of the canes series in 2019..
