The Islanders have placed defenseman Thomas Hickey and forwards Josh Ho-Sang and Tanner Fritz on waivers with the intention of re-assigning them to their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport if they clear, president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said on Monday morning.
The Islanders must submit their opening-night roster, which can be a maximum of 23 players, by Tuesday at 5 p.m. The season-opener is Friday night against the Capitals at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
