The 24-year-old defenseman, who played two games earlier in the season-- two assists in his NHL debut -- had sat out the last three games as the club's seventh defenseman.
Adam Boqvist, who had been serving that role, is back in the lineup with defenseman Alexander Romanov out five-to-six to six months as he'll need right shoulder surgery. He's played in each of the last five games, averaging 13:50 minutes, and seems to have won the job, for now.

Recovery targets next season.With Warren back in Bridgeport, the Islanders are now accruing cap space. Warren's $825,000 cap hit forced the Islanders to dip into their LTIR pool.
Players sent to the minors must play one game before being recalled. No more paper transactions.
