Islanders’ Kieffer Bellows: Scores lone goal
Kieffer Bellows scored the only goal for the New York Islanders in a 2-1 preseason loss to the Devils on Saturday.Bellows had a good game but still faces an uphill battle to make the team out of training camp.

The best thing Bellows may have going for him is that he can’t be sent to the AHL without passing through waivers.
