With Dennis Seidenberg injured with a broken jaw the New York Islanders defensive corps was further widdled down. The likes of Travis Hamonic, Ryan Pulock and now Seidenberg would be out for extended period of time.
Now that Seidenberg is out the Isles called up Scott Mayfield from their AHL affiliate in Bridgeport. But then the news came out that Travis Hamonic would be returning to the lineup.
Wait, wasn’t he injured? Yup. Hamonic went down with a broken right thumb on November 6th. That’s just eight days ago for those keeping score. I know modern medicine has made leaps in the recovery process for certain injuries.
