The Islanders have assigned Josh Ho-Sang to Bridgeport (AHL).
Ho-Sang had just one goal and one assist in 10 games during his call-up. His return to AHL means that Valtteri Filppula will return to the lineup on Tuesday. Ho-Sang has 22 points (2G / 20A) in 26 games with the Sound Tigers this season.
Filppula (upper-body) has been activated from IR; will play on Tuesday.
Filppula has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury he suffered in the first period in Buffalo on New Year’s Eve. Filppula’s return means that Josh Ho-Sang has been returned to Bridgeport (AHL).

The Islanders have activated Jordan Eberle (undisclosed) from IR.
Eberle has missed the last four games with an undisclosed injury but appears ready to return to the lineup on Saturday. Eberle will likely re-claim his spot on the top-line from Josh Ho-Sang and returns to the lineup with 17 points (7G / 10A) in 35 games this season.
