One person isn’t surprised by Marshall Warren’s Islanders arrival

BOSTON — Marshall Warren’s father, Lewis, got a gift out of his dreams for his birthday on Tuesday.

For the first time since Marshall was called up to the Islanders last week, Lewis got to watch him take the ice for the team he rooted for as a kid growing up in Long Island’s Laurel Hollow, when the Islanders faced the Bruins at TD Garden.

It’s normal for anyone in Warren’s position to feel in the middle of a whirlwind, but the 24-year-old’s ascension to the NHL truly did come out of nowhere.
