Overview
- New York formally recalled top center prospect Calum Ritchie on Friday and loaned defenseman Marshall Warren to AHL Bridgeport.
- The transactions follow Thursday’s move activating defenseman Alexander Romanov from injured reserve after a five-game absence with an upper-body injury.
- Ritchie did not debut Thursday as planned because weather disrupted his travel after Mathew Barzal was scratched for a late arrival reported by the New York Post.
- The Warren reassignment restores the Islanders to compliance with the NHL’s 23-player active roster limit.
- Ritchie has three points in three AHL games since a mild lower-body issue and was the principal return in last season’s Brock Nelson trade with Colorado.
