Mayfield will be back in the Islanders lineup on Thursday.

The Islanders have recalled Scott Mayfield from Bridgeport (AHL) on an emergency basis.

Mayfield, 24, has picked up one goal and one assists (two points) in 12 games with Bridgeport this season. Mayfield has picked up one goal in 11 career NHL games and he is expected to make his season debut tonight with Dennis Seidenberg (upper-body) out.

The Islanders have placed Scott Mayfield on waivers.

Mayfield, 23, was the 34th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, but has yet to make a big impact at the NHL level. The 6-foot-4, 225 lbs. blueliner has appeared in just 11 NHL games, tallying just one goal. There may be a team out there that lacks depth on the blueline that claims the St. Louis native.

The Islanders have recalled Scott Mayfield from Bridgeport (AHL).

Mayfield, 23, has recorded 12 points (5G / 7A) in 52 games with Bridgeport this season. He has appeared in three games with the Islanders this year and has eight career NHL games under his belt. He has been recalled because Calvin de Haan was injured in Monday’s win.

The Hurricanes have acquired Joakim Nordstrom, Kris Versteeg and a 2017 third-round pick for Dennis Robertson, Jake Massie and a 2017 fifth-round pick.

Nordstrom, 23, had three assists in 38 games with the Blackhawks last year. In 23 contests with the Hawks’ AHL affiliate in Rockford he had 16 points (9G / 7A). He will likely land a bottom six role with his new club.

Joakim Nordstrom
The NHL has suspended Joakim Nordstrom for two games.

Nordstorm has been suspended for his hit-from-behind on Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson in Thurday’s win. The hit came late in the third period and forced OEL to miss the final minute of play. OEL also missed practice on Friday and his status for Saturday’s game is in question.
