Certainly, there are no promises, and Colin McDonald knows he is not in the position to ask for any. He is an emergency call-up from Bridgeport, so presumably when the emergency ends, so will his time with the Islanders.
McDonald will take any ice time he can get, though he’ll try to make a lasting impression. Good things may lie ahead for the Islanders, and McDonald would like to be part of what transpires. “It’s another day in the NHL,” he said Friday. “This is why everyone tries to play the game.”
