| Radek Martinek is doubtful for Thursday's game due to a shoulder injury, according to Newsday. |

| Rick DiPietro underwent surgery on his knee four weeks ago and on Tuesday he skated at practice for the second day in a row, according to Newsday. "I felt good. It's been a long time," DiPietro said. "I've been looking forward to getting back." |
Our View: The Islanders are looking forward to getting their starter back in the lineup. Now that DiPietro is back on the ice, his return is nearing. |

| Tim Jackman has been recalled by the Islanders from AHL Bridgeport, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: The 27-year-old only recorded nine points over 79 career games in the NHL, with 126 penalty minutes. He will hold no fantasy value in standard leagues. |

|
| Mike Sillinger has been recalled from Bridgeport by the Islanders, according to Newsday. |
Our View: He had been recovering from microfracture hip surgery and was working in the minors for conditioning. He could be a productive scorer with enough ice time, but may need a few games to get adjusted to the speed of the NHL again. |
