Islanders' Cole McWard: Recalled from AHL

McWard was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

The Islanders were down to six healthy defensemen, hence the recall of McWard. McWard led all Bridgeport defensemen with five goals and 16 points in 29 AHL games before his recall. He will line up on the third pairing, alongside Scott Mayfield, on Saturday against Toronto.
