J-F Berube’s five-goal drubbing by the Penguins hurt the Islanders in more ways than one.
The team announced Monday morning that the backup goalie would be day to day with a lower-body injury, and emergency recalled Christopher Gibson from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
Coach Jack Capuano told reporters he believes Berube should be back in a few days. But in the meantime, the Islanders, who are in a pivotal stretch and have yet to clinch a playoff berth with four games left in the season, might have to use what is essentially a fourth choice in the crease.
