Weight And Comeau In For Thursday

Doug Weight and Blake Comeau are ready for Thursday's game against Ottawa. With Weight coming off injury reserve someone will have to be moved off the Islanders' roster.

Isles say Rechlicz is sent to Bridgeport, but who else comes out of the game lineup?

Isles Carry Roster Maximum

The New York Islanders are entering the season with the NHL maximum 23 players on their active roster, 14 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 2 goalies. Weight (groin), Nielsen (knee), Reich (broken wrist), and DiPietro (knees/hips) are on injured reserve. A game lineup can only have 20 players; who are the odd men out on Saturday?

Isles say they dress 12 forwards and six defensemen; Rechlicz, Thompson, and Gervais sit.

DiPietro's Career Over?

The New York Islanders have signed former Philly starting goalie Martin Biron to a one year, $1.4M contract.

Isles say, having read all the different stories and speculation on this move, Ricky's injuries are career threatening.
