Yesterday, the New York Islanders announced that Valtteri Filppula was going to be out for four weeks and that Jordan Eberle was day-to-day. Both with upper body injuries.
That means the Islanders need to do some lineup juggling to fill the gaps left by both Filppula and Eberle. To fill the gaps, the Islanders have called up Tanner Fritz. That means the Islanders will likely shuffle around some of their already struggling pieces as they push towards the postseason.
With nine games left, the first test of the Islanders roster depth is tonight against the Montreal Canadiens on the road.
