UPDATES & LINEUP:
The Islanders recalled Isaiah George from Bridgeport, a 20-year-old who only has four games of professional experience under his belt.
He takes the spot of Samuel Bolduc, who, after making a costly mistake against the Rangers, found himself back in Bridgeport on Monday evening.
George will skate with Grant Hutton on the team’s third pairing as Alexander Romanov (upper body) misses his second straight game.
He and Mike Reilly (upper body) have yet to take the ice since getting injured up in Buffalo.

It’s nice to have Patrick, that was a wonderful move by Lou. I do think we need to look at leadership in Bridgeport. Maybe a GM and coaching change might be needed.
George can help smooth skater and a defense first guy. Looked very very good exiting the D Zone. Let the kid play and stay in the lineup regardless of who gets healthy. Was the same steady force in Junior, he has a chance to stay. Reilly is a seven in reality
