New York Islanders‘ 1st round pick in the 2014 draft (#28 overall) rookie center Josh Ho-Sang(66) makes his NHL debut skating a healthy 23 shifts for 17:01 total ice with 2 shots on net and a 0 rating in a come from behind 5-4 victory.
He may not stick as he’s only filling in for the time being but with continued good playing there’s nothing like making a good first impression.
The 6′ somewhat light-ish, which may add to the quickness around the net he possesses, 173 lbs. forward already has 10 goals and 26 assists in 48 AHL games with affiliate Bridgeport Sound Tigers as a first year skater.
This basically mirrors what he accomplished in 4 years of juniors with Windsor Spitfires and Niagara IceDogs, where he was more than a point-per-game performer (82-210-292) in 256 OHL games.
The just turned 21-year old is signed to a three-year entry level deal through 2018/2019, so has some time to develop, which he’s already promised he will.
