Staple: Mikhail Grabovski not medically cleared as Islanders training camp begins
The Islanders gathered for the start of their 2016 training camp today and a piece of sad news has already surfaced from beyond the uniform fittings and photo taking.
Per a tweet from Newsday’s Arthur Staple, center Mikhail Grabovski has not been medically cleared to start camp.
Mikhail Grabovski won't speak to the media here today, not cleared due to concussion symptoms. Also not cleared to skate.
