The Islanders beat the Lightning on Monday night to inch two points closer to a playoff berth. Before the game, they recalled goalie Christopher Gibson from Bridgeport to replace J-F Berube, who is out with a lower body injury. And now, after the game, defenseman Calvin de Haan might join the team's growing list of wounded.
In the second period Monday night, de Haan blocked a shot from Nikita Kutcherov that appeared to hit him square in the side of his right knee. He lay on the ice for quite a while, before limping to the bench for a change.
