Dal Colle to Bridgeport as Hickey, Ladd Recalled
Pardon, but this is my spot.In a move that has been looming as each player practiced with the team and even participated in Bridgeport over the weekend, the New York Islanders recalled defenseman Thomas Hickey and winger Andrew Ladd from brief AHL conditioning stints.
At the same time, the team announced the reassignment of winger Michael Dal Colle to Bridgeport.
To fit both Hickey and Ladd on their 23-man roster and pull them off of Injured Reserve, however, the Islanders will need to make another move. Typically, news of players being placed on NHL waivers hits at noon, when we’ll also likely hear that Hickey and Ladd have come off IR.
