Josh Ho-Sang knows he can help the Islanders if he can earn a roster spot. The mercurial playmaking wing believes he did so in his limited chance last season.
“I was up last year, the team went 9-1,” Ho-Sang said on Thursday as the Islanders opened training camp at East Meadow. “I feel like I helped.”
Ho-Sang, 23, had one goal and one assist in his 10-game stint and also had eight goals and 35 assists in 56 AHL games with Bridgeport.
Earning a roster spot will be tough with 14 forwards returning from last season, plus prospects such as Oliver Wahlstrom, the 11th overall pick in 2018, and Otto Koivula among those pushing for an NHL job.
