The Islanders will shuffle some players around after losing four straight games. Komarov, Kieffer Bellows and Oliver Wahlstrom will go to the taxi squad with Austin Czarnik, Dmytro Timashov and Ilya Sorokin coming up.



Komarov played 11:37 TOI vs. the Predators on Tuesday but will be replaced by Tom Kuhnhackl in Boston on Thursday.


Komarov has reportedly been hit hard by illness, so he's been moved to IR to open up a roster spot for Casey Cizikas to be activated. Komarov is eligible to be activated whenever he is healthy.


Andrighetto dressed in Matt Calvert’s place in Game 5 but is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday. Patrik Nemeth is expected to replace Andrighetto and dress as a seventh defenseman for Colorado.

Komarov missed the Islanders morning skate and will be a game-time decision vs. the Golden Knights. If Komarov is unavailable, Josh Ho-Sang is expected to make his season debut on the third line.

Andrighetto has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Gabriel Bourque on Saturday. Andrighetto has just two goals on 27 shots (7.5 SH%) and one assist in 13 games this season.

Andrigehtto was a healthy scratch for two games but will replace Vladislav Kamanev on Tuesday. Andrighetto is averaging two shots per game but has just two goals in nine games this season.

Andrighetto has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury, but will replace Matt Nieto on the Colorado fourth line. Andrighetto has moved up and down the lineup this season so don’t be surprised if he sees some middle-6 ice-time during the game. He has just one goal on 12 shots in six games this season.

Andrighetto has missed the last three games and will miss at least two more with a lower-body injury. The Avalanche might get some reinforcements though, as Tyson Jost expects to make his return to the lineup.

Andrighetto missed the first four games of the season with a lower-body injury and will miss at least two more games with another lower-body issue. The Avalanche will need to recall a forward or two for the road-trip.

Andrigetto had eight goals and 14 assists (22 points) in 50 games with the Avalanche last season. The 25-year-old winger will replace Sheldon Dries and skate on Colorado’s fourth line with Vladislav Kamenev and Gabriel Bourque.
