Isles put D Seidenberg on IR with broken jaw

NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders have placed defenseman Dennis Seidenberg on injured reserve due to a broken jaw and called up Scott Mayfield from Bridgeport of the AHL.

Seidenberg was hit in the face by a puck Saturday night in the Islanders' 3-2 overtime loss at Florida.

Travis Hamonic, expected to be out 4 to 6 weeks with a broken bone in his hand, has returned after just one week, and the Islanders decided to go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards Monday night against Tampa Bay.
