Nick Leddy News
Leddy will be a game-time decision on Friday.

Leddy missed Thursday’s practice but was back on the ice for Friday’s morning skate and will be a game-time decision. Head coach Barry Trotz did not disclose what Leddy is dealing with, other than to say “he’s Goa little bit of a nagging thing.” Johnny Boychuk would slide back into the lineup if Leddy can’t play.

Leddy missed Friday’s game with an upper-body injury, but he got through Saturday’s practice without a hitch and appears good-to-go for Sunday’s game. He would re-claim his spot from Ryan Pulock, who is now out for at least one month with a broken foot.

Leddy (upper-body) is day-to-day; questionable for Friday's game.

Leddy missed Thursday's practice with an upper-body injury that he likely suffered on Tuesday vs. the Sharks. With Leddy questionable, the Islanders recalled Ryan Pulock from Bridgeport (AHL) and he will take Leddy's spot in the lineup should he be unable to play tomorrow.

The Islanders have acquired Nick Leddy and Kent Simpson from the Blackhawks for TJ Brennan, Ville Pokka and goaltender Anders Nilsson.

Leddy, 23, had seven goals with 24 assists (31 points) in 82 games with the Blackhawks last season. Leddy has never missed a regular season game in three NHL seasons and should be in the Isles' top-4 with a lot of power-play time.
