NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — This is why the Islanders like to have a lot of defensemen at the ready.
The team announced Monday that veteran Thomas Hickey has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. Newsday reported that Hickey will miss at least a month due to the injury, which is believed to be to his left leg, though the Islanders said there has not been a timetable set for his return.
