Golyshev was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Golyshev likely wasn't happy with his role in the Islanders organization, as he hasn't appeared in an NHL contest this season. It wouldn't be surprising to see the 26-year-old forward return to his native Russia to continue his playing career.

Islanders' Anatoli Golyshev: Misses out on chance to impress
Rotowire
The cancellation of the game between the Islanders and Devils cost Golyshev a chance to play with Brock Nelson and Anthony Beauvillier, Newsday reports. The preseason contest was canceled due to a power outage at the Prudential Center on Thursday.
Golyshev would have had to have a great game, and even that may not have been enough to make the team out of camp. He is competing with the likes of Leo Komarov, Richard Panik, Ross Johnston, Oliver Wahlstrom, and Kieffer Bellows for the final roster spot. Golyshev will likely find himself in Bridgeport of the AHL to start the season.
