This was an eventful week for the New York Islanders. They played four games, going 2-2-0, and unfortunately lost veteran forward Cal Clutterbuck and defenseman Scott Mayfield to long-term injury.
Clutterbuck, who was recently extended, is out for the season and that might be the case for Mayfield, who will miss 4-6 weeks, too. Both players were valuable to their team this season.
Clutterbuck didn’t miss any time and had to step up during that terrible COVID outbreak that affected most of the team.
He did just that and was the Islanders’ best player for several weeks.
