Noah Dobson won’t be sure he’s made the Islanders’ opening-night roster until he walks into NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum on Friday night for the regular-season opener against the Capitals.
But he took being at Monday’s practice at East Meadow as a positive.
The Islanders placed veteran defenseman Thomas Hickey and forwards Josh Ho-Sang and Tanner Fritz on waivers on Monday, with the intention of re-assigning them to their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport if they clear by Tuesday at noon.
