Islanders' Ho-Sang reports to AHL after season-long absence

New York Islanders forward Joshua Ho-Sang will report to the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers for the first time this season, general manager Lou Lamoriello confirmed on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old Ho-Sang requested a trade after he failed to crack the Islanders' opening-day roster in October. Once he cleared waivers, he was told by Lamoriello not to report to the Sound Tigers while the Isles attempted to trade him, according to The Athletic's Arthur Staple.

After being selected 28th overall by the Islanders in the 2014 draft, Ho-Sang has appeared in just 53 games with the club. He's enjoyed success in the AHL, though, amassing 26 goals and 110 points in 156 games with the Sound Tigers.
