The Islanders will play the Caps tonight in Washington. The injury list is starting to grow as Kyle Okposo has contracted the H1N1 virus and Doug Weights' "upper body injury" has now been projected as a 4-6 week absence. Add this to Radek Martinek being lost for the season and the injury bug is starting to catch up to the Islanders again.
Good news is Trent Hunter may be in tonights' lineup after recovering from a pectoral injury. Another positive-no Alex Oveckin! But then again that has not stopped Washington from lighting the lamp with 11 goals in their last two games.
On a side note, there was actually a comment from GM Garth Snow recorded in the NY Post last week, maybe he has awoken from his nap on the job. Should be interesting to see if the road trip coupled with the holidays approaching could make for any moves on the horizon. Snow, minus contract dumps and draft day picks shuffling, has been non-existent in the trade market for quite some time now. We went from Mad Mike to Sleepy Snow. Still waiting for him to utilize that cap space he's so proud of.
