Isles Notes for 2/23



Forward lines at practice:  Moulson-Tavares-Parenteau; Grabner-Nielsen-Okposo; Martin-Reasoner-Rolston; Niederreiter-Pandolfo.

Defensemen:  Streit, Staios, Hamonic, MacDonald, Ness, Eaton, Mottau, Jurcina.

Goaltenders:  Nabokov, Montoya and Poulin.


Arthur Staple reports the Islanders recalled C, Casey Cizikas (15-29-44, +25) from BPT, sent D, Aaron Ness and G, Kevin Poulin down, and removed D Travis Hamonic off IR. Hamonic, Evgeni Nabokov should both in the line up tomorrow vs. the Rangers.

Bob McKenzie reports NYI GM Garth Snow and Nabokov's agent, Don Meehan reportedly spoke today, will speak again, but no new deal is imminent.

Per the New York Islanders, Doctors are reevaluating F, Josh Bailey regarding the back spasms that forced him to leave Tuesday's game against the Sabers.

The Tampa Bay Lightening claimed Tim Wallace off waivers this afternoon.  Wallace will be another Islander claimed or traded for by Tampa Bay since Steve Yzerman has taken over GM duties for the team.  Other players include Nate Thompson, Bruno Gervais, Duane Roloson, Sean Bergenheim and Marc-Andre Bergeron.

What would you give up to make Dustin Brown an Islander?



Reminder:  I will be away for Friday’s game at home against the Rangers @ 7 p.m. and Sunday’s away game in Ottawa at 5 p.m. I will try and summarize before going into next weeks games.
