Some unsettling news from Long Island, as Mark Streit has reportedly injured his left shoulder in the 3rd period of a team scrimmage and had to leave the game. There are some assumptions that Streit is going to miss some time with this injury, but there is no confirmation from the team as to how long he will be out, if he misses any time at all. This injury could be a big loss for the Islanders, as Streit is their go-to defenseman for some blueline offense and should be a hot commodity in the draft this year. This may open the door for defenseman Calvin de Haan to open the season with club, who is also known as a puck-moving defenseman, if he wasn't already penciled in by the coaching staff.
This will be an injury that will likely be updated on Sunday, Monday at the latest. With the draft on Tuesday, it'll be important to know how much to discount his annual projection by.
