Montreal Canadiens' prospect Ivan Demidov is having a great season in the KHL and since teammate Tony DeAngelo has gone back to the USA, he'll replace him at the All-Star game.
It was DeAngelo's first point in two games since joining the Islanders following a KHL stint, and while the Isles didn't get a power-play opportunity Tuesday, he should see a heavy workload with the man advantage as long as Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) are on the shelf.
The New York Islanders have signed veteran defenseman Tony DeAngelo for the rest of the season. The deal announced Friday is for a prorated share of the league minimum $775,000 for the remaining games.
