NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Islanders announced on Wednesday they will be without sparkplug center Casey Cizikas for three to four weeks after he suffered a leg laceration early in the first period of Tuesday night’s 5-3 win over the Flyers at Barclays Center.
Center Cole Bardreau was recalled from the Islanders’ AHL affiliate in Bridgeport.
The Islanders, who did not practice on Wednesday, open a four-game Western road trip against the Predators on Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena.
Bardreau, 26, had a goal and an assist in a nine-game stint with the Islanders from Oct. 19 to Nov.
