COSKEY EXTENDS POINT STREAK TO FIVE GAMES:
Cole Coskey scored his fourth goal of the season on Saturday and extended his point-streak to five games. After participating in his first Islanders Training Camp from Sept. 14-19, the Isles' 2019 seventh-round pick (209th overall) has seven points (4G, 3A) through five games with the Saginaw Spirit in the Ontario Hockey League. Coskey is tied for the Saginaw lead in goals and is tied for second in points.
Teammate Blade Jenkins scored two points (1G, 1A) in the Spirit's 9-3 rout over Sarnia Sting on Sept. 27. Coskey also had a two-point (1G, 1A) performance. Coskey, Jenkins and the Spirit currently sit in sixth place of the OHL's Western Conference with a record of 2-2-1.
WAHLSTROM'S LATE TALLY SETS UP SOUND TIGERS IN PRESEASON WIN:
Oliver Wahlstrom scored the game-tying goal on Saturday night as the Bridgeport Sound Tigers came back to claim a 4-2 win over the Hartford Wolf Pack. The Isles' 2018 first-rounder (11th overall) joined the Sound Tigers after participating in his first-ever training camp with the organization.
David Quenneville, the Isles' 2016 seventh-round (200th overall), scored Bridgeport's go-ahead goal. Cole Bardreau, who the Islanders signed over the summer, scored on Hartford's empty net to seal the 4-2 victory.
