In what seemed like an awful attempt at an April Fools Day prank the New York Islanders announced that they called up Connor Jones to replace the injured John Tavares. It isn’t a laughing matter.
Most of you probably said “Who?” hen you heard this name and I wouldn’t blame you. He’s the Bridgeport Sound Tigers’ fourth line center.
Yep, the Isles replaced John Tavares their top line winger with a fourth line AHL center. Fantastic.
In 56 games the 26 year old has five goals and 13 assists (18 points). It’s numbers you would expect from your fourth line center.
