Isles Notes for 1/4 and FHZ10!

The Islanders dug deep and battled back to defeat the struggling the Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in a SO. John Tavares, PA Parenteau, Matt Moulson, Kyle Okposo and Frans Nielsen (shoot out winning goal, surprised?) looked strong in the win.

Matt Moulson’s 18 pts in December were the most in one calendar month by an Isles player since 3/98, when Zigmund Palffy scored 18 pts.

Mottau and DiPietro were returned to Long Island for further medical evaluation. Rick DiPietro was apparently injured (lower body inj.) while already reconditioning himself on IR.

Per the Islanders, no official update on Montoya. He is continuing to follow protocol in recovering from a concussion.

The Islanders will face the Anaheim Ducks and Phoenix coyotes who sit 29^th and 21^st in the NHL standings.These are winnable games if the right Islanders team shows up to meet the challenge.

D Calvin de Haan was named to the 2012 AHL All-Star game.
