The New York Islanders can't afford any more setbacks as they drift further away from a playoff spot. Unfortunately, bad news has struck again, this time affecting defenseman Scott Mayfield.
Currently, Casseau's squad sits 4 points behind the Capitals and the 2nd Wild Card spot for the playoffs. They absolutely must start racking up wins now, and Mayfield's injury is a significant setback.
It's worth mentioning that Lou Lamoriello didn't exactly help the team at the trade deadline by making no acquisitions. Despite this, I believe Patrick Roy is doing a tremendous job with the team, and they shouldn't count him out just yet.
