-> *UConn’s Marc Gatcomb, who joined the Islanders’ organization this season, was summoned off the ice during the morning skate with Bridgeport of the AHL and sent up to New York on an emergency basis when a flu bug hit Jean-Gabriel Pageau among others on the team.

After taking his “rookie lap” before Tuesday’s game against Ottawa, Gatcomb, 25, flipped the puck over the glass to his parents, who drove down from Massachusetts. He played 7 1/2 minutes with the fourth line, and was returned to Bridgeport, where he has nine goals and eight assists. He’s the ninth UConn player to reach the NHL.
