The Islanders recalled Justin Johnson this morning. At 32, not far removed from signing his first NHL contract, he should make his NHL debut tonight in Newark.
Brett Gallant on Tuesday; Justin Johnson on Friday. Two guys who’ve worked hard and fought hard for a shot. And they both get it, three days apart. How’s that for a week?
Meanwhile, the Sound Tigers have added another ATO: Justin Hickman, captain of the Seattle Thunderbirds, could make his pro debut at Albany. Had 46 points and 154 PIM this year in the WHL.
