The extent of Ladd's injury is unknown at this point but Isles' GM Lou Lamoriello said LTIR is not being considered at this point. Ladd has been skating as of late but remains without a timetable for his return. He had 12 goals and 17 assists in 73 games for the Islanders last season.
Ladd has missed the last nine games with and upper-body injury but it looks like he’ll be back tonight in Toronto. There’s no word on where Ladd will slot back into the lineup because of the emergence of Anthony Beauvillier during his absence. Ladd has nine goals and nine assists (18 points) in 42 games this season.
Ladd will miss his second straight game with an undisclosed injury and the Islanders are unsure how long he will be out for. Head coach Doug Weight said they “have to figure everything out and hopefully [Ladd] is back sooner than later. That’ all I can tell you now.” It doesn’t sound like Ladd will be out long-term, but Anthony Beauvillier and Michael Dal Colle are up from Bridgeport (AHL) to take Ladd and Josh Bailey’s spots in the lineup.
Ladd has missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, but will draw in for Anthony Beauvillier tonight. Ladd has had a tough debut season in Brooklyn—he comes into Tuesday with eight goals and four assists (12 points)in 41 games this season.
Ladd will miss his third consecutive game with an upper-body injury and is considered doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Flyers.
Ladd missed Monday’s game with an upper-body injury and is listed as day-to-day. With his day-to-day tag, consider Ladd as questionable for Thursday’s game vs. the Stars.
Ladd will come out of the lineup on Monday because of an undisclosed minor injury. With Ladd out, Shane Prince will get back into the lineup. Consider Ladd as day-to-day.
After spending five and a half years with the Winnipeg Jets, he had a reunion with the Blackhawks after being acquired at the Trade Deadline, but he wasn’t enough to propel them to another Stanley Cup. He had 12 points (8G / 4A) in 19 games with Chicago and 25 goals, 21 assists (46 points) in 78 games overall. Ladd will fill the hole left by Kyle Okposo’s departure to Buffalo and should find himself playing alongside John Tavares in 2016-17.
Ladd was absent from Monday’s practice, but head coach Joel Quenneville said that Ladd is fine. Ladd has registered eight goals and four assists (12 points) in 19 games since being acquired from the Jets.
Ladd, 30, was with the Blackhawks from 2008-2010, winning a Stanley Cup in 2010. He has spent the last five in a half seasons with the Jets, where he averaged 27 goals and 32 assists (59 points) per 82 games and had 34 points (17G / 17A) in 59 games this season. He will play on the Blackhawks’ top line with Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa (when he returns from injury).
Ladd played through a sports hernia in the first round loss against the Ducks. He will see a specialist and might opt for surgery. He said the injury limited his explosiveness on skates, but was not a major issue.
Ladd would have had the chance to play every game this season, but he will be given the afternoon off with the Jets locked into the playoffs.
Ladd now has 12 points in 19 games this season.
Ladd had a strong season, nearing his career-high with 54 points (23G / 31A). That falls five short of his career-high that he set with the Atlanta Thrashers (remember them?) in 2010-11. Ladd has been a good leader for this team and exemplifies exactly what head coach Paul Maurice is looking for out of his players. Should Maurice be back next season, look for Ladd to have a good year.
There is no word on what is ailing Ladd, but it could keep him out for the final three games of the season. The Jets will be in tough tonight without Ladd or Dustin Byfuglien.
Ladd will miss Monday's contest to be with his wife during the birth of their baby girl. Expect him to be back on Thursday in San Jose.
The Jets are off until Saturday which gives Ladd an extra day to overcome the flu, but monitor his status on Saturday morning to be sure he is in the lineup.
