When the teams faced each other again Monday, Hagelin had two goals in a 3-0 Rangers win, and the Boyle-Mitchell-Dubinsky line was so effective at maintaining possession of the puck that Tortorella matched the trio against the Islanders' No. 1 scoring line.
If Wasps targeted one of Leicester's traditional strengths, the line-out, they also matched them at scrum-time, where Tom French, a 23-year-old prop, was starting only his second senior game.
