Former Islanders 1st-rounder Ho-Sang sent down to AHL

The New York Islanders sent former first-round pick Joshua Ho-Sang down to the AHL on Wednesday, the team announced.

Unlike his previous demotion, in which Ho-Sang was returned to the OHL because he slept in and was late for training camp, it appears his alarm clock went off Wednesday morning, as he was a participant in the Islanders' morning skate, according to Brian Compton of NHL.com.

In six games with the Isles this season, Ho-Sang has zero goals, four assists, and six shots on goal while averaging 13:28 minutes of ice time per game.

He'll return to Bridgeport, where he played 50 games a season ago, recording 10 goals and 36 points.

New York used the 28th overall pick on Ho-Sang in the 2014 NHL Draft, but he has played in just 27 NHL games thus far, picking up 14 points.
