Islanders Reilly To Have Heart Surgery; Lamoriello Provides More Injury Updates

On Monday in Calgary, New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello provided reporters with updates regarding injured players:

Mike Reilly (Upper Body): Cleared From Concussion, Undergoing Heart Surgery For Uncovered Condition

The 31-year-old was knocked out cold against the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 1 after a hit from forward Jordan Greenway. He was initially day-to-day but now is out indefinitely. It turns out that, after going for tests, Reilly has a heart condition.

"[His quality of life will be] 100% and he will be able to play once this procedure is done," Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello said. "It takes quite a bit of time. It could be several months before he's back, because of the type of procedure." (H/t New York Islanders)

Alexander Romanov (Upper Body): Game-Time Decision vs. Flames

The 24-year-old is practicing without a non-contact jersey for the second straight skate and is a game-time decision against the Flames. He has missed the last seven games and 10 of the last 11 with an upper-body injury.

Mathew Barzal (Upper Body): Not Cleared To Skate

The 28-year-old left the team's last road trip due to an upper-body injury sustained against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 30 and was given a 4-6 week timeline that had him potentially back at the earliest, on Nov. 27 against the Boston Bruins and, at the latest, against the Chicago Blackhawks on Dec. 12. He is eligible to be activated out of long-term injured reserve (LTIR) on Nov. 25 against the Detroit Red Wings. He will return to the ice soon.

Anthony Duclair: Not Skating, Will Resume Soon

The 29-year-old, who signed a four-year deal worth $3.5 million annually on July 1, has missed 13 games with a lower-body injury sustained against the Montreal Canadiens on Oct. 19. He's on LTIR and was eligible to be activated against the Vancouver Canucks this past Thursday.

Adam Pelech (Upper Body): Not Cleared To Skate

The 30-year-old suffered a jaw injury against the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 1 and was placed on injured reserve. His timeline was 4-6 weeks, which means the earliest Pelech is expected to be back would be Nov. 29 against the Washington Capitals, with the latest being Dec. 15 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
