Injury Report: Injury Thread 2019-20: Pelech Out, Cizikas and Boychuk are healthy

[Tres Peleches]

The Islanders have amazing primary depth, that is their lineup, when healthy, is four lines deep and any line can play any of the opposing team’s lines

There is absolutely no secondary depth. It’s actually shocking how bad they are after a few injuries, albeit to multiple key players

 

[ML19]

My dream forward lineup with current injuries

Bellows Barzal Ebs
Lee Nelson Beau
Dal Colle Bailey Ho Sang
Martin Koivula Kuhnnackl/Komarov

 

[duster19]

Ladd back to BPT. Bellows back up. I’m so confused..

 

[Islanders4Cups]

Ladd back to BPT. Bellows back up. I’m so confused..

Interesting, maybe to see if a team will take him off our hands I suppose.

 

[leeroggy]

Ladd back to BPT. Bellows back up. I’m so confused..

Maybe we have a better chance to win with Bellows instead of Ladd . . .

 

[PK Cronin]

Didn't see this reported anywhere else yet, but Brassard fractured his cheek bone per The Athletic.

But still, a move feels somehow necessary. Derick Brassard revealed he suffered a fractured cheekbone in Denver last week

What we're hearing about the Islanders heading into deadline...

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Ladd waived his NTC, but the Parise deal fell through. Will be interesting to see how that ripples through the organization.

The good news was Clutterbuck was activated. Means he is days away from returning presumably. Getting him and Cizikas back is of paramount importance if the Isles are to have their best shot this playoffs.

 

[PK Cronin]

Brassard is back.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

I wonder who they're showcasing Ladd for?

You called it. They actually WERE showcasing him.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I hope Greene just got a stinger. Nothing serious. He would be a big loss right now.

Hate to be THAT guy but a stinger does not keep you out the entire game against a rival down the stretch. Greene will most likely be out a while.

Anyone know where and what happened? I was watching but all I heard was he went to the dressing room and never returned. Hoping for the best.

 

[islesfan3913]

We need Zeeker and Clutter back in the worst way possible. Guys like Brassard, MDC, and Koivula just aren’t going to get things done right now.

Lee-Barzal-Eberle
Beau-Nelson-Bailey-
Bellows/Ladd-JPG-Komarov
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck
MDC/Johnston

Now that’s a lineup I’d be comfortable going into battle with.

I disagree. He's not going to get an MRI mid game. If he has enough pain/numbness they hold him out until he can actually be diagnosed. Again, very well may be more than that. But sports injuries are tricky/unpredictable until imaging is done.

Looks good except Komarov needs to put in a submarine and blasted into space. Or on a rocket and blasted into the ocean.

And you forgot Brassard (who I much rather have over Komarov)

I get that impression as well. Shoulder injuries are a bitch, I'm just going to assume he's going to be out for a bit and that sucks.

 

[islesfan3913]

Ah yes, good call on Brassard. I disagree though, I’d probably take Komarov over Brassard. Brassard looks more and more like MDC with every game. I know he’s putting up the numbers but he’s constantly making bonehead plays and I just don’t trust him come playoff time. At least Komarov is good on the PK and doesn’t hurt you anywhere.

Also my problem with knocking Komarov out is that it’ll probably get MDC in which is something I want no part of.

Our problem right now is that we have a ton of left wingers but none of them can really play on their off wing. If we did want to chance that then the most likely outcome would be moving removing Komarov, moving Clutterbuck up to the third line, and popping in MDC or Johnston on the fourth with Zeeker and Martin but now we’re breaking up the line the is a key for us.

 

[wingnutks]

I'd bet Greene is out for a bit. Falling onto your chest with your arm stretch out is about the easiest way to hurt your shoulder

 

[MattMartin]

Get f***ING Bellows in the line up ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

This would suck so much, right after regaining the stability on the back end...

 

[Doshell Propivo]

Yeah, certainly looked like a shoulder. Hopefully he won't miss more than a few games. If he's out more than 2-4 weeks that would be truly awful.

Komarov needs to sit a bit. He left Panarin wide open on his goal last night.

We got caught on a mismatch on that goal. Our 4th line against Panarin-Strom-Fast.

Still, can't leave Panarin wide open like that.

That line should never be out there against them. Put that one on Trotz.
