Isles Day to Day: Koivula Loaned to HIFK-Hockey Ab

Otto Koivula was loaned to HIFK-Hockey Ab in Finland's Liiga, the New York Islanders announced on Friday.
Koivula had 22 points (9G, 13A) in 36 games for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers this past season and appeared in 12 games with the Islanders, including his NHL debut. Koivula was also on the Islanders expanded playoff roster during the team's playoff run.
Koivula is the third Sound Tiger to be loaned to Europe, after Oliver Wahlstrom and Simon Holmstrom were loaned to Swedish teams in August.
