Starting next week, a few of the Islanders’ European prospects will step away from their pro teams and suit up for their home countries to take part in the Karjala Cup tournament.
Rosters were announced at various points this week, and the Islanders involved are:
- Sweden: Linus Soderstrom (4-3-1, 2 shutouts with HV71) is one of three goalies going, along with former NHLers Jhonas Enroth and Magnus Hellberg.
- Russia: The defending champs will have Ilya Sorokin (11-4-2, 4 shutouts with CSKA Moscow) among their goalies.
