House Calls: Tavares remains sick, will miss more time with mysterious malady

Maybe it's the flu or something he ate or due to watching the Mets vomit up routine plays all weekend, but Islanders captain John Tavares remains ill, according to a couple of ominous Jack Capuano quotes from practice.

Capuano: Tavares still very sick, getting checked out again today. "I don't expect him here for a little bit."

Capuano said Tavares "is not doing well" and he doesn't expect him "for a little bit." #Isles

In other words, Tavares could be out for tomorrow night's rematch against the Devils.
