Travis Hamonic News

Hamonic missed Thursday's game and missing practice this morning is not a good sign for his availability for Saturday's game against the Stars.

The Islanders are calling Hamonic day-to-day with an upper-body injury. He will be replaced by Lubomir Visnovsky, who is coming off of IR with an upper-body injury of his own.

Hamonic said he is not a player who likes to miss games and sounded like he would play this morning, so this report confirms that. He has one goal and a plus-3 rating in five games.

Hamonic left Monday's practice with an undisclosed injury and his status for tonight's meeting with the Maple Leafs is uncertain. Hamonic has one goal, a plus-3 rating and 23 penalty minutes in five games this season.

Hamonic was suspended for Sunday's game after getting an instigator penalty in the final five minutes of Saturday's loss. With Andrew MacDonald getting traded to the Flyers this afternoon, Hamonic will be leaned on heavily by the Islanders the rest of the season. Hamonic already averages close to 25 minutes a game, but MacDonald played the eighth most minutes in the NHL to this point.

Hamonic will sit out on Sunday vs. Florida and could potentially be suspended beyond the one game. Hamonic has 10 points (1G /9A) with a minus-4 rating while averaging close to 25 minutes in 49 games this season.

Hamonic has missed the last eight games with a concussion, but is eligible to come off of IR and return to the lineup whenever he is able to play. He skated at Monday's morning skate, so he is expected to be close, however his placement on IR and the recall of Matt Donovan all but rules him out for Wednesday's Stadium Series game against the Rangers.

Hamonic is not ready to return to the Islanders lineup, but it is a positive step in his recovery. Hamonic has missed the last seven games and could find himself on IR soon with Lubomir Visnovsky nearing a return.

Hamonic has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, it seems highly unlikely that he will play on Monday afternoon.

Hamonic is a great defensive-defenseman at 6-foot-2 and over 200 pounds, but he also has talent in the offensive zone. He has 10 goals and 50 assists in 183 games in his first three seasons with the Islanders.

Hamonic played 25 minutes last night so this is most likely just a precautionary measure.

Hamonic skated this morning, and may be ready to go tonight. Monitor his status as game-time approaches.
