The last thing you want is for one of your players to get injured in the final minutes of the final preseason game. It looked like a reality for the New York Islanders as Casey Cizikas collided hard with Adam Fox on Saturday.
It appeared like Cizikas was in a great deal of pain back on the bench, but according to Cizikas, the video made it look worse than what it really was.
He missed two days of practice but was able to return yesterday. It appears like the Islanders will have their versatile fourth-line center for tonight’s season opener against the Washington Capitals at Nassau Coliseum.
