The team recalled Brett Gallant on an emergency basis from Bridgeport, and returned Johan Sundstrom to the Sound Tigers. Assuming he gets into a game, he will be the 13th rookie used by the Isles this season (including goaltender Anders Nilsson)and the 36th player overall (including 3 goalies).
Gallant's totals (from hockeyfights.com) speak for themselves:
