OTTAWA, Ontario — The Islanders recalled goalie Christopher Gibson from Bridgeport on an emergency basis on Wednesday in what is probably not a good sign for Robin Lehner’s status, at least in the short term.
The Islanders conclude a home-and-home series with the Senators on Thursday night at Canadian Tire Centre and Lehner left Tuesday night’s 5-4 shootout win at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum at 15:20 of the third period with what appeared to be a head issue.
Lehner was bowled over by Brady Tkachuk and was flat on his back in distress on Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s ensuing video-reviewed tying goal.
