About the Islanders: New York sits only one point out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, but did not make any deals as the NHL trade deadline expired Wednesday. ... However, the Islanders did recall rookie forward Joshua Ho-Sang from Bridgeport of the American Hockey League. Ho-Sang, the team’s first-round draft pick in 2014, also was selected Wednesday as the AHL’s Rookie of the Month after recording five goals and 10 assists (15 points) in 12 games in February.
