Conacher to Sound Tigers

Cory Conacher cleared waivers at noon, and about a half-hour later the Islanders announced he was a Sound Tiger.

All the stuff we talked about yesterday morning remain in effect: Talented player with a track record at this level. Onetime MVP, hadn’t been back to the AHL since midway through the next season. Lengthens the lineup. Will be interesting.

Meanwhile, Brent Thompson said Sebastian Collberg is expected to miss at least the rest of this weekend with the injury (or injuries) he suffered late in Friday night’s game.
