Bridgeport Islanders News Release


BRIDGEPORT, CT - The American Hockey League's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, top affiliate of the National Hockey League's New York Islanders, have announced the recall of forward Robert Nilsson by the big club. Nilsson has joined the Islanders on the road in Philadelphia in time for Wednesday night's road games versus the Flyers.

Nilsson has two goals, four assists, six points and ten penalty minutes in 25 NHL games with the Islanders, as well as seven goals, 15 assists, 22 points and 12 penalty minutes in 23 AHL games with the Sound Tigers this season. The Islanders' first pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft made highlight reels throughout North America after he scored a lacrosse-style goal for the Sound Tigers by lifting the puck onto the tip of his inverted stick blade and jamming it just inside the post and under the cross bar as he rounded the net in a 4-3 shootout win on the road versus the league-leading Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on January 25th.

The Sound Tigers will return to action when they host the Lowell Lock Monsters this Friday, February 10th at 7:35 p.m. They will also visit the Hershey Bears this Saturday at 7 p.m. and return home to host Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this Sunday at 4:05 p.m. All Sound Tigers games are web-cast live at www.soundtigers.com. Fans can also watch all AHL games live on the B2 Networks. Information about Sound Tigers ticket packages and promotions is available by calling 203-334-GOAL or emailing info@soundtigers.com.
