Schenn missed the last nine games with an upper-body injury but returns to the lineup on Wednesday. Schenn, who has three goals and three assists in nine games, will centre the second line with Brandon Saad and Jordan Kyrou on his wings.


Schenn will miss his ninth consecutive game on Monday but it looks as if he will return to the lineup at some point this week. Schenn was on the ice again this morning and could be back as soon as Wednesday in Detroit.





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.
