The New York Islanders will be without Casey Cizikas for the next month.
The 25-year-old will miss four weeks with an upper-body injury, a source told Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Cizikas suffered the injury during Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings and was forced from the game. Cizikas has had an underwhelming year offensively, after agreeing to a four-year, $16.75-million contract extension last June, contributing just seven goals and 23 points in 53 games.
