Islanders put G Rick DiPietro on waivers

New York Islanders waive G Rick DiPietro.

This could be end of the DiPietro's injury-filled Isles career that appeared doomed from the moment he signed that 15-year contract. The Islanders plan to recall Kevin Poulin from Bridgeport once DiPietro clears waivers. DiPietro will then be assigned to the club's AHL affiliate and the Islanders will have roughly $9 million in cap space committed to a pair of goaltenders not playing in the NHL.

Flyers move Vincent Lecavalier (back) to IR

Philadelphia has placed Vincent Lecavalier (back) on injured reserve.

Ruff impressed by rookie Valeri Nichushkin

Dallas coach Lindy Ruff has been impressed by rookie forward Valeri Nichushkin.

"Val's play continues to grow. For me that's really important," said Ruff after Nichushkin tallied a goal and three assists in Saturday's win over Philadelphia. "He made a couple of really good plays on those goals, and physically, he's been dominating some battles." He has earned 13 points and a plus-12 rating in his past 15 games. Nichushkin possesses a wealth of potential and he'll be probably be in the running for the Calder Trophy at the end of the year.

Corey Crawford's LBI may not be 'too serious'

Chicago bench boss Joel Quenneville doesn't think Corey Crawford's lower-body injury is serious.

"I don't think it's too serious. But when it's a goalie it's a little more serious than other players because of how important he is to our team," said Quenneville. "We'll have a better assessment (Monday) but I think we're along those lines." With Crawford potentially sidelined, the Blackhawks will be forced to turn rookie Antti Raanta and whoever comes up from the minors as their goaltenders. He suffered what appeared to be a groin injury in the first period of Sunday's win over Florida and had to leave the game.

Dougie Hamilton heads back home due to LBI

Dougie Hamilton had to exit Sunday's game against Toronto early in the first period because of a lower-body injury.

He saw just eight shifts which amounted to 5:58 of ice time. Hamilton is heading back to Boston for evaluation and it's believed that he won't be available this week. "We'll see what the outcome is there, but it doesn't look like he'll be playing with us for this coming week," coach Claude Julien said. "Based on the original diagnosis is that he's probably done for at least a week." Hamilton has seven points and a plus-9 rating in 28 games this season. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Islanders may be calling up Ryan Strome

The struggling New York Islanders may recall center Ryan Strome from the minors.

Strome has been white-hot of late with 17 points in his last eight games as he leads the AHL in scoring with 33 points including nine goals. If the former fifth overall selection in the 2011 Draft is recalled, the Islanders, who are 2-12-2 in their last 16 games, will have to make another move as they have their full complement of 23 players on the current roster. Grab him if you can as he has a bright future in the NHL.
