Jordan Eberle's injury could create opportunity for Oliver Wahlstrom

The next-man-up mentality applies to the Islanders as much as it does any other NHL club. Still, there’s no doubt losing a top-line player, if that is the case, is a big roster hole to fill.

The Islanders did not practice on Sunday so there was no update on right wing Jordan Eberle’s status in advance of Monday’s matinee against the defending Stanley Cup champion Blues at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.

Eberle appeared to hurt his right leg on a late third-period check from defenseman Mike Matheson in Saturday night’s 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers, which snapped a two-game losing streak.
