The Islanders’ five-game road trip continues tonight in Vancouver, where a new addition could bolster their injury-stricken lineup.
With Alex Romanov still out and Dennis Cholowski rarely seeing ice time, Cornell alumnus Travis Mitchell has been called up to support the depleted defense.
The Canucks, meanwhile, are performing well with an 8-3-3 record and a .679 points percentage.
