New York Islanders Disappointing Thomas Hickey Placed On IR
In the aftermath of the New York Islanders 3-1 loss to the Boston Bruins, the New York Islanders placed defenseman Thomas Hickey on injured reserve.
If anyone was going to be leaving the Boston Bruins-New York Islanders game, you’d think it was going to be one of the Boston Bruins players. After blocking 21 of the Islanders shots someone on their roster has to have a few bruises.
But on Sunday, the New York Islanders placed Thomas Hickey on injury reserve retroactive to December 9th. The official word from the New York Islanders is just “upper body”. Which could mean anything.
