Of course, Josh Ho-Sang is frustrated he has yet to secure a full-time spot in the NHL. The Islanders’ former first-round pick believes that’s just natural.
“Everyone wants to play in the NHL, not just me,” said Ho-Sang, 23, selected 28th overall in 2014. “If you ask any AHL player, ‘Are you upset you’re not in the NHL or does it frustrate you?’ Yeah, of course. But, at the same time, this team has been amazing this year. It’s definitely easier not to be in the NHL when the NHL team is great.”
The Islanders, with several players fighting a stomach virus, brought up Ho-Sang and Michael Dal Colle, 22, the fifth overall pick in 2014, on emergency recall from Bridgeport for Tuesday night’s game against the Senators at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
