Matias Maccelli Skates in Non-Contact Jersey Ahead of Return

New York Islanders forward Matias Maccelli returned to wearing a red non-contact jersey during morning skates as he targets a return during the team's California trip. Maccelli has been sidelined with a lower-body injury sustained during an Oct. 17 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Nearing the end of his projected 2-4 week recovery timeline, coach Pete DeBoer indicated Maccelli will undergo physical contact testing with extras before receiving clear status.
