RALEIGH, N.C. — New York Islanders coach Barry Trotz mulled whether to change goaltenders with his team facing elimination before deciding to stick with the reliable Robin Lehner as the starter. By the time he made the switch, the Islanders were down two goals and on their way being swept out of the playoffs. “It was a real tough decision because in this series, goaltending really wasn’t the problem,” Trotz said of mulling the switch before the game. “It was more the goal scoring.”Lehner allowed three goals in 11 shots before Trotz went to Thomas Greiss. I think the first period, I saw six shots, but they were all right in front of me.
