Ladd will not play Saturday versus the Ducks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ladd was recalled from Bridgeport of the AHL earlier Saturday. The Islanders have been offensively challenged of late but won't immediately insert Ladd into game action. This Islanders next play Monday versus the Blue Jackets and it would seem that Ladd could be a replacement for Ross Johnston on the third line with Derick Brassard and Tom Kuhnhackl.
