Islanders make 5 Day 2 picks in NHL Draft

CHICAGO — These are the selections the Islanders made Saturday on the second day of the NHL Draft:

Robin Salo, defenseman, Sport Vaasa (Finland)

No. 46, 2nd round. 6-1, 187. Born Oct. 13, 1998, Espoo, Finland

Stats: 54 games, 1 goal, 15 assists for Sport Vaasa

From Isles head scout Vellu Kautonen: Salo is “a solid, two-way defenseman that’s very smart with and without the puck. Good puck mover, good first pass, has some offense too. Kind of a limited role in the Finnish League this year but that’s normal because he’s a young player in a pro league.
