The goaltending picture for the New York Islanders AHL affiliate is now set — and that alone is progress. After a season where the club struggled to get timely saves, the Bridgeport Islanders will open the year with Marcus Högberg and Parker Gahagen as their tandem, signaling a push toward greater stability in net. To make room, the organization reassigned goaltenders Henrik Tikkanen and Tristan Lennox to Worcester of the ECHL on Friday.
For Bridgeport, the move represents a clear effort to tighten one of the biggest problem areas from last season.
