Details coming out of New York Islanders practice Wednesday point to Adam Pelech's injury being even more serious than previously understood.
The "freak" injury to the young defenseman who'd shown promise in his recent callup is likely season-ending according to Arthur Staple, the Isles beatwriter for Newsday.

We previously understood Pelech to have been a "gametime" decision for Sunday afternoon's game against the Canucks, but it now looks like Pelech was expected to be a go for that game all along before the freak injury happened.
