New York Islanders forwards Kieffer Bellows and Oliver Wahlstrom have been sent back to the taxi squad as of Friday afternoon, according to The Athletic’s Arthur Staple.
Goaltender Ilya Sorokin, who found himself on the taxi squad on Thursday prior to the 6-3 Islanders loss to the Washington Capitals, has been recalled to the NHL roster.
The move comes on the back-end of an ugly Thursday loss in which the Islanders could’ve used a backup goaltender to replace Semyon Varlamov.
