The Islanders have called up Kieffer Bellows, the 19th overall pick in 2016, for his first NHL assignment.
The Islanders, who continue a three-game homestand at Barclays Center on Tuesday night against the Stars after a 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks on Saturday afternoon, are 22nd in the NHL with 146 goals.
The left-shooting Bellows, 21, has 16 goals and eight assists in 45 games for the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport in his second season in the organization.
The Islanders have slipped to fourth place in the Metropolitan Division and hold a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference by just one point.
