COLUMBUS, Ohio — The future of Andrew Ladd playing again for the Islanders is now in jeopardy.
The 33-year-old forward tore his left ACL on a strange hit late in Sunday’s 2-0 win over the Coyotes, and he is expected to be out four-to-five months. Earlier this season, he had surgery for a torn ACL in his right knee, and that was after missing training camp with a back issue.
Ladd played just 26 games this season, and he was playing marginally better in the previous few. Team president Lou Lamoriello said he expects him ready for training camp next season.
