Salo, Julien Gauthier, Brian Pinho, Dennis Cholowski and Karson Kuhlman were recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

EDGE Analysis

All five players will serve as extra depth options for the Islanders during the postseason. Salo produced 24 points in 68 appearances at the AHL level this season, but he did not see any NHL action.

Salo was placed on waivers by the Islanders on Friday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

EDGE Analysis

Salo had 14 assists in 38 contests with AHL Bridgeport last season. With New York, he contributed two goals and four points in 11 games. If he clears waivers, Salo will probably report to Bridgeport.

Salo was demoted to AHL Bridgeport on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Salo hasn't logged a game for the Isles since Dec. 22, a stretch of eight games as a healthy scratch. While the 24-year-old defenseman, or somebody else, could be brought up before Thursday's matchup with Minnesota, the move would seem to indicate that Adam Pelech (head) is nearing a return to action.

Salo was a healthy scratch for the seventh straight game Friday versus the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Salo hasn't played since a 5-3 loss to the Rangers on Dec. 22. He made a couple of defensive miscues in that contest and has been relegated to the bench ever since. Adam Pelech is still out of the lineup due to a head injury, but rather than play Salo, coach Lane Lambert has gone with Parker Wotherspoon. Lambert doesn't seem to be in any rush to reinsert Salo into the lineup.

Salo (undisclosed) is not in Friday's lineup against Florida, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Salo has two assists in seven games since rejoining the Islanders' lineup on a regular basis. It's unclear if Salo is dealing with an injury or if he's a healthy scratch Friday. Parker Wotherspoon is in line to make his NHL debut as Salo's replacement.

Salo produced an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Salo has earned an assist in each of the last two games. The 24-year-old defenseman is up to four points in nine outings this season, though his presence in the lineup may only last as long as Adam Pelech (upper body) is out.

Salo recorded an assist in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Salo saw just 6:28 of ice time in the contest -- it's unclear if he was injured or benched, but it doesn't bode well for his playing time once Adam Pelech (head) returns. This was Salo's first point in four outings since he replaced Pelech in the lineup, and the former has seen less than eight minutes of ice time in three of those games. Salo has two goals, one assist, five shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through eight contests overall.

Salo could play Friday for the first time since Oct 20, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Salo is expected to take the lineup spot of Adam Pelech, who will likely miss the game due to a head injury. Salo started the season as part of the top six for the Isles on defense, but a roster crunch forced the team to send him to the AHL. His return won't be an easy one as he will be up against the Devils, who are not only playing like one of the best teams in the NHL but are also one of the fastest.

Salo was recalled from AHL Bridgeport on Sunday, Stefen Rosner of NYI Hockey Now reports.

EDGE Analysis

Salo has been up and down from the minors frequently this season. He hasn't played for the Islanders since Oct. 20, mostly serving as an extra blueliner this year.

Salo was returned to AHL Bridgeport by the Islanders on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Salo was a healthy scratch for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia after being called up on Monday. He has two goals in four games with the Islanders and an assist in two AHL contests this season.
