For Doug Weight, Josh Ho-Sang needs to prove he belongs in the big league

CHICAGO -- Doug Weight has heard the cries from Islander fans. As yet another call-up from Bridgeport, big winger Ross Johnston, makes his season debut here on Saturday, the cry went up again:

Where is Josh Ho-Sang?

The Isles’ talented young wing is still toiling away in the AHL, where he has two goals and five assists in 13 games since he was sent down on Dec. 14, along with one healthy scratch. Since then, the Islanders have had numerous forward injuries, but Ho-Sang has not been brought back.

“[The fans] can be upset he’s not here,” Weight told Newsday on Saturday morning.
