• Aitcheson was sent down to AHL Hamilton on Tuesday.

  Aitcheson was brought up by the Islanders in a cap move on Monday. He'll return to the AHL, where he has an assist, a minus-7 rating, nine PIM and seven shots on net across nine appearances this season.

• Aitcheson is expected to make an effort to begin the regular season with the Islanders, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports Monday.

  Aitcheson trained with Bo Horvat during the offseason, and the latter praised Aitcheson's work ethic Monday while saying that the 19-year-old is "really determined to try to make this team." Aitcheson was the No. 17 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, and he recorded 28 goals, 42 assists and 97 PIM across 56 regular-season appearances with OHL Barrie last year. Even if he's left off the Opening Night roster for the 2026-27 campaign, it seems possible that he'll have a chance to take another step in his development by playing for AHL Hamilton this year.

  Aitcheson has earned four points over two playoff outings after being sidelined to begin the postseason. The defenseman was stellar in the regular season with 28 goals and 70 points over 56 appearances. The Islanders prospect signed his entry-level contract March 17, which paves the way for him to potentially join AHL Bridgeport to start 2026-27 -- he turns 20 in September.
