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) [https://www.nhl.com/islanders/news/isles-day-to-day-reilly-to-undergo-heart-procedure] 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 [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/boston-bruins/] and, at the latest, against the Chicago Blackhawks [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/colorado-avalanche/] 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 [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/washington-capitals/], with the latest being Dec. 15 against the Chicago Blackhawks.
