Moving to the protocol list on Friday makes Lee questionable for the Islanders' back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday. Lee joins Josh Bailey and Ross Johnston, so look for the Islanders to make some call-ups if they're all unavailable for the weekend.

Salo was a second-round pick of the Islanders in 2017 and he came to North America this season after spending the last two years in the SHL. The 23-year-old blueliner has scored two goals with six assists (eight points) in 14 AHL games.

This is a huge blow for the Islanders blueline, as Pulock is the team leader in ice-time (21:07). Pulock being out one month opens the door for Sebastian Aho to play big minutes, including on PP1. In two games this season, Aho has played 19:03 ATOI at even-strength and 4:59 on the PP.



Cizikas missed Monday's game with an illness that he picked up over the weekend. He'll be a game-time decision in the second half of a back-to-back in Florida.



Dobson skated late with the scratches during Monday's morning skate, which signifies he could come out of the lineup for the first time this season. If Dobson does sit, Sebastian Aho would make his season debut. Dobson has no points, a minus-1 rating and 11 shots on goal in his last six games.

Cizikas missed Saturday's practice due to illness and is questionable to play Monday against the Lightning. He was able to skate Sunday, which is a good sign that he'll be available, but he remains a game-time decision

Boqvist missed six games with a lower-body injury and was a healthy scratch on Saturday. Monday will be his first game since October 23rd and comes in pointless with a minus-3 rating in five games.

Perunovich was the 2020 Hobey Baker Award Winner, posting 40 points (6G / 34A) in 34 games with the University of Minnesota-Duluth. He has absolutely dominated the AHL so far this season as well. As a defenseman, he's currently tied for the league-lead with 20 points (2G / 18A) in 12 games.

Thompson played in two straight games, failing to record a point with three shots in 14:25 ATOI. Thompson will be replaced by Yegor Sharangovich, who was a healthy scratch for the past two games.
