The New York Islanders identity is driven by the fourth line and by center Casey Cizikas. On Tuesday, the center went down with an injury against the Philadelphia Flyers and would not return to the game with a lower-body injury according to the Islanders.
With Cizikas out for what could be at the very least a few games, the Islanders are going to need someone to step up and fill that gap.
