MONTREAL — Doug Weight tried to see the bright side of the Islanders injury news, even though he’s lost Casey Cizikas (upper body) for four weeks, Cal Clutterbuck (lower) was out again on Thursday and Shane Prince (upper) still wasn’t ready to return.
“With Casey, just got caught in the right spot,” Weight said prior to Thursday’s game. “We’re disappointed, of course, but given what they saw initially, it could have been worse. We’re actually pretty excited it’s only four weeks and hopefully sooner than that.”
Clutterbuck took a spin on the Bell Centre ice Thursday morning but came off as the majority of his teammates began drills.
