What was originally a day-to-day assessment for Casey Cizikas has turned into something more alarming as Stephen Gionta has finally received the call.
Gionta signed on with the Islanders during training camp on a two-way deal and it’s becoming evident as to why he signed in the first place.
Steve Bernier, a longtime teammate of Gionta’s returned on the same contract for the Islanders. He more than likely helped push Gionta to come to the Island (or in most of this case, Connecticut).
General depth is something the Islanders have struggled with this season.
