Isles prospect goalies Soderstrom and Skarek get their chances
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Training camp will determine where Linus Soderstrom and Jakub Skarek play this season, though both European goalie prospects say they believe it will be in the Islanders’ system in North America.
That’s a concern for later this month, however. Right now, all either wants is to see as many pucks as possible, either in practices or games.
The two split the netminding duties in Wednesday night’s prospects’ game against the Flyers at PPL Center.
“I hope I would stay here for the season,” said the 19-year-old Skarek, a Czech who played in Finland last season. “It all depends on camp. I think I am not going back to Finland. I will do my best here to show that I am ready.”
