The Islanders on Friday returned forward Josh Ho-Sang to Bridgeport (AHL) from his emergency recall while changing forward Michael Dal Colle’s status from emergency recall to a regular recall.
All NHL teams are allowed just four call-ups after the Feb. 25 trade deadline, excluding emergency recalls. The Islanders had availability issues this week between a stomach virus ripping through the roster and fourth-line wings Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck both being sidelined with upper-body injuries.
The Islanders did not practice on Friday, but Ho-Sang’s re-assignment signals one of the Islanders’ veterans is ready to return to the lineup for Saturday night’s game against the Flyers at the NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
