Islanders taking extra steps to keep staff safe from COVID

Lou Lamoriello addressed the media on Tuesday to talk about a few things concerning his New York Islanders team. He talked about why he brought in Chara and Parise. He also confirmed the Erik Gustafsson PTO and that Cory Schneider and Michael Dal Colle were coming back.

None of that was news per see. We knew that all of these players had signed. We knew why he brought in Chara and Parise. But Lou did add something we weren’t yet aware of, the team’s vaccination rate and the measures they’ll take, of their own accord, to keep people safe.
