In addition to the three goalies at the NHL level, the Isles have had three goalies with Bridgeport as well. Anders Nilsson is off to a great start and we all saw what Kevin Poulin did last year at the NHL level.
Mikko Koskinen is the odd man out, at least for now. KalPa announced today that he would play in Finland for the remainder of the season. (Thanks to Mike Fornabaio for the heads-up.) I haven't seen anything yet from the Isles with their part of the story.
If your Finnish is better than mine: http://www.kalpa-hockey.fi/2011-2012_uutinen/mikko-koskinen-on-kalpan-uusi-korkean-profiilin-ma has the story. Google translate puts that into something resembling English.
The most recognizable name on KalPa's roster is Sami Kapanen, who played 12 NHL seasons -- primarily for Carolina and Philadelphia.
Forever1940 is the nom de plume of Eric Hornick, statistician on Islander home telecasts since 1982. Visit my blog: NYISkinny.com and follow me on Twitter @ehornick
