While you’re down there

The Sound Tigers released Nic Riopel from his PTO this morning. Before you start looking for a chain reaction of goaltending transactions, instead read the Greenville News and wonder if this isn’t just picking up his ECHL team for the night.

Word from down there is that Scott Howes didn’t practice this morning after taking the spear last night, but he could be ready for tomorrow’s game.

Meanwhile, the Islanders made room for Brian Rolston to come off injured reserve by placing David Ullstrom on, retroactive to Dec. 20, so he could come off IR at any time.
