  • Islanders' Adam Pelech: Two points including OT winner

    Pelech scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Tuesday's 5-4 overtime victory over the Penguins.

  • Islanders' Adam Pelech: Game-time call Monday

    Pelech (upper body) will be a game-time decision against the Leafs on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Pelech looks poised to return versus Toronto after practicing with the team but coach Patrick Roy wouldn't go so far as to confirm the blueliner was ready to suit up. Injuries have limited the 29-year-old Pelech to 25 outings this season in which he recorded four points (all assists), 19 hits and 42 blocked shots. At this point, Pelech will be hard-pressed to reach the 20-point threshold, a mark he hit in each of the previous two seasons.

  • Islanders' Adam Pelech: Not close to returning

    Pelech (upper body) will be eligible to be activated from long-term injured reserve Tuesday, but according to coach Lane Lambert, "it's still going to be a while" until the defenseman will be ready to play, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Pelech had only collected three helpers through 16 games before suffering the upper-body injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't feel compelled to track his status. Once activated, the 29-year-old blueliner will likely slot into a top-four role for the Islanders.

  • Islanders' Adam Pelech: Game-time decision against Oilers

    Pelech (lower body) will be a game-time call versus Edmonton on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

    Pelech has been out of the lineup for three of the Islanders' last four contests due to his lower-body issue. The defender is mired in a nine-game pointless streak and is still looking for his first goal of the season.
