The Islanders tweeted in the middle of our chat that Nino Niederreiter and Trevor Gillies will play for Bridgeport on Wednesday morning. Niederreiter is on a conditioning loan, which according to the CBA (13.8) can last up to two weeks. Gillies, it appears, is a straight assignment after clearing waivers.
I think but am not positive that Nieddereiter is technically on the Islanders’ 23-man active roster while he’s on the loan; the “definitions” section of the CBA says he is. (That’d be the clear reason for the Gillies move, for one thing.) More if/as available. Edit: Well, looks like Eric Hornick agrees with that, so I feel better. If so, should the Isles need a forward along the way, it’d force some kind of other move.
Meanwhile here, Brent Thompson said not to expect Benn Olson and Chris Langkow to play this week. They did not practice.
Edit2: Bridgeport has released Dan Kissel from his PTO, per the afternoon press release.
