George was sent down to AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders acquired blueliner Carson Soucy on Monday, which led to a crowded room of defensemen, where George seems to be the initial odd-man out. The 21-year-old defenseman recorded an assist in Monday's contest for his first point of the year across two appearances with the NHL club. His move to Bridgeport could also indicate that Ryan Pulock, who has been dealing with an upper-body injury, could be close to returning. Through 24 games with Bridgeport this season, George has 10 points. He is a likely candidate for another call-up if another Islanders' blueliner picks up an injury.

George was summoned from AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

George had two goals and 10 points in 24 AHL games before his recall. George has spent the entire season with Bridgeport after playing 33 regular-season games with the Islanders in 2024-25, scoring once and adding four assists with the big club. The Islanders sent Cole McWard to the minors in a corresponding move Saturday. George could suit up Saturday in Buffalo, as the Islanders are down to five healthy defensemen, with Ryan Pulock day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

George scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Bridgeport's 5-1 win over Hartford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

George has battled injuries a couple of times this season, with his three points Sunday representing his first contribution since Dec. 13. He's now at two goals and six helpers over 21 appearances. The Islanders have plenty of blue-line depth at the NHL level, so the 21-year-old George is likely to spend most of the campaign working on his development.

George was loaned to AHL Bridgeport on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

George got his first taste of NHL action last year by making 33 regular-season appearances for the Islanders. He recorded a goal, four assists, 34 blocked shots, 14 hits and six PIM while averaging 15:39 of ice time, but he'll be left off the team's Opening Night roster ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. However, he'll likely be one of the first defensemen in the mix for a call-up if the team deals with injuries at some point.

George was demoted to AHL Bridgeport on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

George is pointless over his last 12 games with the Islanders, registering 13 shots, eight hits and six blocks while averaging just 12:43 of ice time. With the team claiming Adam Boqvist off waivers Friday, along with the additions of Scott Perunovich and Tony DeAngelo, the 20-year-old George became expendable -- though he figures to be in the mix for a full-time NHL role next season.

George (upper body) is slated to return versus the Senators on Tuesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

George will be back in the lineup following a three-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body injury. Prior to getting hurt, the youngster was stuck in a four-game pointless streak. The offense hasn't exactly been flowing from the Ontario native this season, as he has managed just five points in 25 outings. As such, fantasy players probably don't need him on their radar, especially in re-draft leagues.

George (upper body) returned to practice Monday, but head coach Patrick Roy doesn't know whether the defenseman will be available for Tuesday's game against the Senators, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

George has missed the last three games due to his upper-body injury, but it was encouraging to see him back in practice Monday. Roy said that George looked good during Monday's practice session, but the team's medical staff apparently wants to see how he feels afterward before determining his status for Tuesday's matchup. Grant Hutton was sent down Monday, so it wouldn't be surprising to see either George or Alexander Romanov (upper body), who remains day-to-day, back in action against Ottawa.

George (upper body) will not travel with the Islanders for the team's two-game road trip, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders visit Vegas on Thursday before playing in Utah on Saturday. George is still dealing with the lingering effects of a hit from Max Domi in Thursday's 2-1 loss to Toronto. The 20-year-old George has provided one goal and four helpers through 25 appearances this season. Dennis Cholowski will continue to fill in on the third pairing while George is sidelined.

Per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com, George (upper body) is day-to-day and won't be available for Sunday's matchup versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

George left Thursday's 2-1 loss to Toronto due to concussion protocol after receiving a reverse hit from Max Domi in the second period. Dennis Cholowski will replace George in Sunday's lineup. The 20-year-old George has one goal, four assists and 30 blocked shots in 25 games this season.

George is in the concussion protocol after taking an elbow to the head in the second period of Thursday's game versus the Maple Leafs, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

No further update was made available on George's status. He was hit by Max Domi in the second and didn't not return to the game. If George can't play Sunday in Boston, Dennis Cholowski will likely enter the lineup.
