The injury-depleted Islanders recalled 21-year-old Finnish forward Otto Koivula from their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport on Wednesday.
Forwards Matt Martin and Tom Kuhnhackl were placed on injured reserve, retroactive to Friday when both suffered lower-body injuries in a 4-2 win at Ottawa. Both are expected to miss four to six weeks.
Forward Leo Komarov remained absent from Islanders’ practice on Wednesday in East Meadow as he has missed four games because of illness. Right wing Jordan Eberle (IR/lower body) also has not resumed skating with the team.
The Islanders (8-3-0), who have won seven straight, next play the Lightning on Friday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
