Andreoff's Career Year Boosts Bridgeport
The Islanders' alternate captain is producing points in playoff push
by Rachel Luscher @Rachel_Luscher / NewYorkIslanders.com
Andy Andreoff is a 30-goal scorer for the first time in his career, potting 31 goals in 60 games this season to bolster offense for the Bridgeport Islanders. The alternate captain leads all players in goals in the American Hockey League during his 12th professional season. He's producing points in bunches while providing the leadership necessary for Bridgeport to maintain their playoff position.
Head Coach Brent Thompson made strong remarks about Andreoff, who leads the team in goals and ranks second in points with 55. The coach compared his style of play to the on-ice qualities of the New York Islanders' captain.
"He's our version of Anders Lee," Thompson said of Andreoff's on-ice characteristics. "He's dangerous at the net front and he's strong on the puck."

by Rachel Luscher @Rachel_Luscher / NewYorkIslanders.com
Bridgeport Islanders captain Seth Helgeson is on the brink of making some history.
With 367 games played, the veteran defenseman is closing in on Mark Wotton's franchise record of 368 games played, set in the 2010-11 season. Helgeson is expected to tie the record in a matchup against the Belleville Senators on Friday and to set the record against the Hartford Wolf Pack on Wednesday.
"I'm very fortunate to have that opportunity," Helgeson said. "It's definitely an accomplishment that's worthy, so it'll be pretty exciting. But I'll treat it like any other game."
