DiPietro Not Ready To Play
The New York Islanders announced on Dec. 14 that goaltender Rick DiPietro will miss his scheduled start for the AHL’s Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Dec. 15 because he experienced tightness during a game in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Dec. 11.
DiPietro took himself out of the contest after the second period. He stopped 13 of 14 shots in the 40 minutes he played.
“Ricky has been seen by the team doctors and most recently a specialist,” New York general manager Garth Snow stated on the club’s official web site. “To make sure we are taking the proper steps in his rehabilitation, we will seek an additional opinion and should have a timeline by the end of the week.”
New York was hoping that DiPietro would be back from his injury soon as he’s been out most of the season. He is currently in the fourth season of his historic 15-year, $67.5 million deal with the Islanders.
