It was an ugly weekend for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, but several Islanders prospects in the CHL and NCAA had big performances.

While the NHL remains idle, plenty of New York Islanders prospects take the ice Saturday night -- and one locked-out Islander too, in a Sandy fundraiser.

With a chance to move into a tie for first place in the Eastern Conference, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers visit their last-place division mates in Adirondack.

New York Islanders prospect Jesse Joensuu was making the best of the lockout, producing for Ässät, but now he's expected to miss two months with a hand injury.

The Bridgeport Sound Tigers return to the ice for a busy weekend, though the first two games will be without first-liner Colin McDonald.

Brock Nelson is the "other" 2010 first-round pick of the New York Islanders, but he's becoming every bit as important as Nino Niederreiter.

Ryan Strome's pretty goal in the Subway Super Series was a nice bit of "200-foot" play.

Nino Niederreiter had the worst possible 2011-12 rookie season. But his 2012-13, his first full season in the AHL, is proceeding as planned.

For Islanders-focused Bridgeport Sound Tigers watchers, it's hard to complain about a goal and assist each for Brock Nelson, Nino Niederreiter, Casey Cizikas and Travis Hamonic. Anders Nilsson stopped 32 for good measure.

The Bridgeport Sound Tigers split a pair of home games, while New York Islanders prospects continued to put up points across multiple leagues.
