Martin has missed the Islanders' previous four games due to an upper-body injury and was placed on the injured reserve Saturday. The 34-year-old bruising winger had been enjoying a slow start to his 2023-24 season, with a goal, as assist, 11 SOG, and seven PIMs in 14 games played prior to the injury.
Martin will sit in favour of Hudson Fasching, who will take Martin's spot alongside Cody Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck on the Islanders' fourth line. Martin has one goal, one assist, and 31 hits in 14 games this season.
Martin, along with Hudson Fasching, will be healthy scratches on Monday, allowing Julien Gauthier and Oliver Wahlstrom to draw back into the lineup. Martin has played all 13 games for the Islanders this season, tallying two points (1G / 1A), 29 hits, and seven penalty minutes.
Martin was a healthy scratch for the first time this season Tuesday but will draw back in the lineup Wednesday replacing Ross Johnston. Through nine games this season, the 33-year-old has four points (2g/2A) and is a +2 plus/minus while only playing 9:51 ATOI per game.
Martin will miss his first game of the 2022-23 season Tuesday as the Islanders head to Chicago. He is expected to join the team later in the week so is considered day-to-day for the time being. In nine games this season, the grinder has four points (2G/2A) and is a +2 rating while occupying the Islanders' bottom six.
Martin, Cal Clutterbuck, Zach Parise and Robin Salo have been activated from COVID-19 protocol and are expected to suit up vs. the Sabres.
Martin is not expected to play on Thursday but he will travel with the team to Carolina, so he may not be sidelined for too long. With Martin out, Ross Johnston is expected to draw into the lineup.
Martin has missed the last nine games with a lower-body injury but will play vs. the Penguins. Martin has just two goals, one assist and a plus-2 rating in seven games this season.
Martin suffered a lower-body injury in Ottawa last Friday and the Islanders immediately announced that he will miss at least one month. So moving him to IR simply opens up a roster spot for the Islanders to call-up Otto Koivula from Bridgeport (AHL).
Martin has missed the last 10 games with an upper-body injury but head coach Barry Trotz said: “there’s a chance” that he plays Monday. Martin doesn’t bring a lot of offense to the Islanders lineup, having registered just three goals and one assist in 11 games.
Martin’s move to IR is retroactive to November 1st, so he is eligible to play whenever he is healthy. Martin remains day-to-day according to the Islanders.
