Top defensive defensemen so far (Sutton, Martinek)

1

It's a little early since there still aren't a lot of shorthanded minutes to figure in, but Mirtle does his yearly numbers look ("Rod Langway Award") and finds two Islanders defensemen among the top 20 defensive performers so far. Of course, both Isles reps are now injured. "QCMP" = Quality of competition.
