Adam Pelech will be available for the Islanders when training resumes
Top-pair defenseman Adam Pelech, out since Jan. 2 with an injured Achilles tendon, will be available to the Islanders whenever the team can resume training as the NHL looks to restart a season halted on March 12 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello said on a conference call on Wednesday that every player will be available once the NHL gives the go-ahead for Phase 2 reopening, hopefully in early June.
Lamoriello also confirmed that construction has restarted on the Islanders’ new arena at Belmont Park after being halted on March 27.
