Wotherspoon was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game Saturday versus the Golden Knights, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
The Islanders' sixth spot on the blue line has been a revolving door. The season started with Robin Salo in the role; then it went to Sebastian Aho, Wotherspoon, and now Samuel Bolduc. Aho has solidified himself as that sixth defender when the defensive corps is healthy, something that is expected to be the case when the Islanders return to action Feb. 6. As a result, Wotherspoon could find himself remaining a healthy scratch as the seventh defender or back in the AHL, barring additional injuries on the back end.
