Jakub Skarek - NHL News & Rumors

Brought up from AHL Skarek was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

Impact The Islanders moved Marcus Hogberg (upper body) to injured reserve in a corresponding move. Skarek has a 5-11-1 record with a 3.22 GAA and an .895 save percentage in 20 minor-league appearances this season. With the Islanders set to play four times in six days, here's a chance Skarek could make his NHL debut if Hogberg and Semyon Varlamov (lower body) remain unavailable. However, Ilya Sorokin will handle most of the starts.

Shipped back to minors Skarek was returned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

Impact Skarek didn't suit up against Utah on Saturday, serving as the No. 2 option behind Marcus Hogberg while Ilya Sorokin (illness) was unavailable. The decision to return Skarek to the minors should be an indication that Sorokin will at least be healthy enough to fill the backup role when the Islanders face off with the Senators on Tuesday.

Impact Skarek was a third-round draft pick by the Islanders in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

Skarek went 7-22-6 with an .888 save percentage and a 3.23 GAA in 36 regular-season appearances with AHL Bridgeport in 2023-24.

On ice Wednesday Skarek (undisclosed) joined the Isles for Wednesday's practice session, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Skarek won't be getting into a game for the club anytime soon and should be considered a longshot for the 23-man roster next year. The 20-year-old netminder saw action in 16 contests for AHL Bridgeport in this season but still split time in the ECHL as well, something he shouldn't have to do in 2020-21.

Missing again Tuesday Skarek was not on the ice for the second day in a row Tuesday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Skarek almost certainly is fourth on the team depth chart, so his chances of actually playing in any games are pretty much nil. Heading into the play-in series against Florida, the Isles figure to utilize Seymon Varlamov between the pipes.

Makes camp roster Bellows has been included in the Islanders' Phase 3 training camp roster.

Impact After racking up 22 goals and 31 points for AHL Bridgeport this season, it would have been quite the surprise to see Bellows left off the roster. The winger's ability to put pucks into the back of the net could see him push for a spot on the lineup heading into the play-in series clash with Florida. In addition to Bellows, the club also added forward Oliver Wahlstrom, defensemen Sebastian Aho and Grant Hutton and netminders Christopher Gibson and Jakub Skarek.
