The New York Islanders are heading out for their annual fall Western road trip, and they're bringing a new toy with them.
Adam Pelech, the third-rounder selected in the Isles' "All Your Defenseman Are Belong To Us" 2012 draft, gets his first in-season recall to the NHL. Though the Isles want to carry insurance while traveling this far from home (and AHL Bridgeport), the left-sided/shooting blueliner could even make his NHL debut as early as Tuesday night in San Jose.
So it's not Pulock, but a LH D-man. Pelech could take Strait's spot tomorrow in SJ, it seems.
