Isles Notes from 11/25

Islanders looked better vs the Flyers, but lost 4-3 in O.T.

Vs the Devils today:

Forwards: Moulson-Tavares-Parenteau; Grabner-Nielsen-Okposo; Rolston-Bailey-Ullstrom; Martin-Pandolfo-Haley.

Defensemen: Streit-Staios; Hamonic-MacDonald; Mottau-Jurcina.

Hedberg vs. Montoya this afternoon with Islanders sporting black third jerseys for the post-holiday matinee.

Niedereitter and Reasoner, scratched.  Is Nino still hurt?  Not a good start to his season so far.

Islanders will face the Devils again tomorrow in Newark @ 1pm.



LW Blake Comeau has been claimed off waivers by the Calgary Flames after Garth Snow was shopping him for a draft pick.  It appears he had no value to other teams with his uninspired play so far this year going pointless and posting a -11 rating in 16 games played.  With the Islanders, Comeau was a second round selection, #47 overall in the 2004 NHL entry draft.  He leaves Long Island with 56 and 65 for 121 points.

Rob McGowan points out that Garth Snow seems to be slowly removing players he had no hand in drafting. There aren't many left.

Hmm.
