• Islanders' Mike Reilly: Set to undergo heart procedure

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Reilly will undergo a procedure on his heart Tuesday and will be sidelined indefinitely. Reilly had been dealing with a concussion recently, and even though he's been cleared from that issue, he'll miss time due to his heart condition. The condition was discovered when he underwent routine testing as part of his concussion recovery. General manager Lou Lamoriello said Monday that Reilly's recovery process from his procedure could take several months, but the defenseman is expected to be able to play again at some point.

• Islanders' Mike Reilly: Shifts to IR

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Reilly (upper body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports. The news shouldn't come as a surprise after Reilly was ruled out indefinitely Saturday due to his upper-body injury. Despite averaging 1:59 of ice time with the man advantage this season, the 31-year-old blueliner has yet to register a point this season in 11 appearances. At this point, Reilly's offensive upside doesn't warrant stashing him in season-long formats even if you have an available IR spot.

  Reilly (concussion) will be unavailable against Ottawa on Thursday after missing the game-day skate, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports. Considering Reilly had yet to register a point in 11 games this season, few fantasy players are likely going to be impacted by his continued absence. Still, the 31-year-old blueliner was a 20-plus point producer last year while dishing out 47 hits and 57 blocks in 59 regular-season contests. Without Reilly in the lineup, Dennis Cholowski and Grant Hutton will make up the third pairing.
