Leo Komarov News
The Islanders will shuffle some players around after losing four straight games. Komarov, Kieffer Bellows and Oliver Wahlstrom will go to the taxi squad with Austin Czarnik, Dmytro Timashov and Ilya Sorokin coming up.
Komarov played 11:37 TOI vs. the Predators on Tuesday but will be replaced by Tom Kuhnhackl in Boston on Thursday.
Komarov has reportedly been hit hard by illness, so he's been moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Casey Cizikas to be activated. Komarov is eligible to be activated whenever he is healthy.
Komarov missed the Islanders morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Golden Knights. If Komarov is unavailable, Josh Ho-Sang is expected to make his season debut on the third line.
Komarov has missed the last seven games with a leg injury but may be ready to go tonight vs. the Jets. Komarov has had a tough season, picking up just 19 points (7G / 12A) in 71 games.
The Maple Leafs announced on Sunday that Komarov would return on Monday, but he will be scratched for a third straight game. Komarov underwent tests and the tests came back negative, so he will remain on a long-list of injured Maple Leafs' forwards.
Komarov missed the last two games, but will be back in the Toronto lineup on Monday vs. the Flames. Komarov has been held pointless in his last four games, but will hop right back onto the first line with Nikita Soshnikov out with an upper-body injury.
