Team Spokesman Chris Botta spoke with the bloggers before we left, and Newsday’s Mark Herrmann. Very scary, he was cut near the eye and had trouble seeing for a little while. He’s been examined by the team eye doctor and things look OK. Whether or not he’ll be playing Tuesday will be determined Monday at practice.
The Islanders announced after midnight that Rick DiPietro was examined by team opthalmologist Dr. Bruce Zagelbaum, who determined that the goalie has no permanent damage in his eye. The team had been encouraged when Zagelbaum decided to examine DiPietro in his office, rather than at the hospital. No further updates are expected until Monday afternoon, team spokesman Chris Botta said.
