The New York Islanders earned themselves a big, gutsy win on the road against the Ottawa Senators last night, but it was gutsy because they lost two defensemen before the game was four minutes old. Adam Pelech left the game two minutes in, and Sebastian Aho left the game three minutes in.
We haven’t gotten an update on Aho yet and probably won’t until later today—no morning skate on the back-to-back, and in such a situation, Lane Lambert usually speaks around 5:00 p.m.—but Pelech has already been placed on LTIR.
#Isles Transaction: Adam Pelech has been placed on LTIR (upper body).
