Whether this ends with the Islanders rookie as a mainstay in the NHL or back in AHL Bridgeport, Tuesday night will be buried deep in the bedrocks of his memory.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Who knows what the future holds for Parker Wotherspoon, just five games into his NHL career at age 25, thrust into the Islanders’ lineup after the team suffered a glut of injuries. Whether this ends with him as a mainstay in the NHL or back in AHL Bridgeport, though, he will always have Tuesday night, buried deep in the bedrocks of his memory.
Wotherspoon, a fourth-round pick back in 2015, played 293 AHL games before finally getting called up just before Christmas. Troy and Susan, his parents, couldn’t make his debut on Long Island due to snow affecting travel. They’ve been at every game since. Troy and Susan have done this before, back in March 2014 when Tyler made his NHL debut with the Calgary Flames. His second career game came in Vancouver, and Tyler played 30 NHL games across four seasons, the last being in January 2017. He’s still in the AHL, playing for the Utica Comets.
