With the Islanders dealing with an onslaught of injuries and positive COVID-19 tests throughout 2021-22, there have been countless players getting chances to skate on the ice at UBS Arena when it might have been unlikely going into the season. Robin Salo, one of the Islanders’ top prospects, is one of those players and is having a strong first chance with the NHL team. Let’s check on how Salo and other Islanders’ prospects are performing around the world.
