Bellows, a former first-round pick, will be looking to have his breakout campaign with the Islanders. In 14 games last season in the NHL, he scored three goals. During the previous year, he scored 22 goals and had nine assists in 52 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers. He also scored two goals and added an assist in eight games with the Islanders.

Schneider will be the team's third goaltender. He held the same role with the Islanders last season, but failed to get into any NHL action. He did, however, play two games with the Sound Tigers. With them, he had a 0-1-1 record and .843 SV%.
