The New York Islanders lost yet another defenseman due to injury, announcing on Wednesday that veteran blueliner Robert Bortuzzo has been placed on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury.
The team also placed Ryan Pulock on LTIR on Dec. 30 after suffering a lower-body injury on Dec. 7. Scott Mayfield and Sebastian Aho also were shelved on IR for considerable stretches, though both were activated off that list in December. The Islanders also claimed veteran defenseman Mike Reilly off waivers from the Florida Panthers to keep the blue line afloat amidst the rash of injuries.
