MONTREAL — Doug Weight had no specific update on Casey Cizikas, saying only that the Islanders center will be out “a while.” He suffered what is suspected to be a hand injury in Saturday’s win over the Rangers.
Adding Cizikas to the pile of Isles injuries seems a bit ridiculous at this point. Josh Bailey, Andrew Ladd and Johnny Boychuk are out, Calvin de Haan is not expected to return this season after shoulder surgery and Nikolay Kulemin might return at the very end of the season after shoulder surgery.
The injury bug has bitten even in Bridgeport.
