Brian Strait News

Strait, 29, has collected five assists in 27 games with Manitoba this season and could make his Jets’ debut on Thursday. Strait has 27 points (6G / 21A) in 182 career NHL games with the Penguins and Islanders.

Strait, 28, served as the Islanders sixth/seventh defenseman for the four years, appearing in 170 games, collecting just six goals and 20 assists (26 points) along the way. He should have a better chance cracking the Jets’ blueline on a more regular basis.

Strait has appeared in the last four games, but will come out of the lineup in favour of Ryan Pulock tonight. Strait has just six points (1G / 5A) in 51 games this season.

Strait played in the lat two games, but will be replaced by the more offensive Ryan Pulock tonight vs. the Senators. Strait has just five points (1G / 4A) in 47 games this season.

Strait was a healthy scratch in the last two games, but with Calvin de Haan sidelined with a lower-body injury, Strait will return to the lineup tonight in New York. He has just five points (1G / 4A) in 40 games this season.

Strait has been a healthy scratch in the Islanders last four games, but he will replace Marek Zidlicky in the lineup on Monday. Strait has two assists and a minus-3 rating in 21 games this season.

Strait has no points and three shots on goal through five games this season. With Thomas Hickey coming back on Saturday, Strait will get bumped out of the lineup vs. the Sharks.

Strait has been a healthy scratch for the last four games, but will be in tonight with Nick Leddy out with a lower-body injury. Strait has six points (2G / 4A) in 38 games this season.

Strait has been a healthy scratch in the last three games, but will play tonight vs. the Hurricanes. Strait has two goals and four assists (6 points) in 37 games this season.

Strait has two goals and four assists in 37 games this season. The Islanders have been shuffling their blue line as of late and Strait will be the latest defenseman to serve as a healthy scratch.

Strait has been a healthy scratch in the last two games, but will be back in the lineup tonight in Philadelphia. He will replace Visnovsky. Strait has one goal and three assist with a minus-6 rating in 27 games.

It was Rupp's first game since February 1st but he only made it through half of the contest after he received a match penalty mid-way through the second period. A phone interview means the suspension will likely be less than five games. The biggest fallout of the hit is how serious Oshie's injury is and how much time will he miss?

Strait has been out since October 22 but will return tonight against Phoenix. Radek Martinek was placed on IR today so Strait was activated. He had one assist in nine games before being injured.

Strait was injured on October 22 in a game vs. Vancouver. The Islanders never provided a definitive timetable for Strait's return so it is hard to gauge how long he will need to be on the ice before returning. His next step is to join his teammates. The Islanders could really use Strait back on the blueline, as they continue to struggle with an inexperienced D-corp.

Rupp is not expected to be away from the team for long.
