Mike Reilly will be out indefinitely as the defenseman will undergo a procedure on Tuesday to address a preexisting, but previously undiscovered heart condition, Islanders President of Hockey Ops and General Manager Lou Lamoriello announced on Monday afternoon. Lamoriello said the issue was found during routine tests after Reilly's concussion on Nov. 1 in Buffalo. The condition is unrelated to the hit, and subsequent injury, Reilly suffered in Buffalo. Lamoriello also said Reilly has been cleared from the concussion. "It was picked up through the different echocardiograms that you do for different reasons that you go through with any post-concussion situation," Lamoriello said.
