Barry Trotz was asked three separates times about Casey Cizikas’ status for Sunday’s Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Lightning before begrudgingly giving an answer.
"It’s sort of the same as yesterday," Trotz said on Saturday. "It’s a game-time (decision). That’s where we’re at right now."
The invaluable fourth-line center missed the Islanders’ 5-3 win in Friday night’s Game 3 at Rogers Place at Edmonton with an undisclosed injury.
