In the lead up to training camp, New York Islanders forwards Cal Clutterbuck and Andrew Ladd are both trying to get back into match shape after sustaining big injuries in the 2018-19 season.
Ladd suffered two significant injuries in 2018-19. On November 13th, he suffered a lower-body injury that kept him out of the lineup until the end of February. And then on March 13th, he tore his ACL, ending his season.
Clutterbuck ended his 2018-20 season by missing game four against the Carolina Hurricanes in the second round of the playoffs.
