The New York Islanders headed out on the road for this weekend’s back-to-back in Dallas and St. Louis with just 12 healthy forwards after the IR placement of Nikolay Kulemin.
It’s not an uncommon move, but it’s one that tempts fate and, sure enough, fate was all too willing to play along. After Anthony Beauvillier left Friday night’s complete no-show in Dallas with Multiple Shot Block Syndrome, the Isles were in need of another forward and, indeed, a true spark.
Enter Joshua Ho-Sang, recalled on an emergency basis for tonight against the Blues.
