Josh Ho-Sang

Josh Ho-Sang scored the first goal of his season in the first period of the Islanders 3-1 win over Arizona on Tuesday night.

Fantasy Impact

Josh Ho-Sang is getting an opportunity to stick with the Islanders and may have taken his first steps to taking advantage of his opportunity. Ho-Sang got his first goal and point of the season in his third game. Ho-Sang has been a decent scorer in the OHL and then AHL so the ability is there. Now that he has a good opportunity playing on the third line with Leo Komarov and Valtteri Filppula in addition to second power play unit duty. Ho-Sang may be one to monitor and see how he plays the next week or so.

Josh Ho-Sang missed practice Thursday due to an illness.

Fantasy Impact

The Islanders don't play until Saturday so this illness shouldn't keep him out of the lineup. Ho-Sang has a lot of talent but has been in and out of the dog house because of his tendency to not be a responsible puck handler. Once he gets his puck handling skills down, Ho-Sang should become a permanent fixture in the Islanders lineup.

Josh Ho-sang will be watching the next game from the press box.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony Beauvillier will start in Ho-Sang's place. Ho-Sang had four assists through four games but has done absolutely nothing over his last two outings.

Ho-Sang scored in the first period of the Islanders' 4-1 defeat of the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact

The 21-year-old has played in four games so far, so it will take a while to evaluate him.
