The Islanders have options in case right wing Cal Clutterbuck is not available for Wednesday night’s Game 3 of their second-round series against the Hurricanes.
Of course, coach Barry Trotz is not tipping his hand and did not have an update on Clutterbuck on Monday. The Islanders did not practice and will be back on the ice on Tuesday before traveling to Raleigh, North Carolina. So that will be the first chance to see whether Clutterbuck, who exited late in the third period of Sunday afternoon’s 2-1 loss in Game 2 at Barclays Center with an undisclosed injury, is a possibility.
