Reports out of media covering the KHL are linking the New York Islanders to a return engagement with SKA goalie Mikko Koskinen, their 2009 draft pick (31st overall) who saw just four NHL appearances with them in 2010-11.
Koskinen would exit SKA St. Petersburg, who was eliminated in the semifinals by the KHL’s other stacked team, CSKA.
Over on these shores, The Athletic’s Islanders beatwriter Arthur Staple says the Islanders aren’t saying anything yet, though according to the original reports that could be because an agreement would be made official on July 1.
