Isaiah George Suffers Upper-Body Injury in Loss to Toronto

Isaiah George will be sidelined for the foreseeable future after sustaining an apparent upper-body injury during a 5-4 shootout loss to the Toronto Marlies. Head coach Jay McKee confirmed postgame that George will miss time. This latest setback further depletes the Islanders' left-side defensive depth, compounding ongoing injury struggles for the 22-year-old defenseman who is currently in the final season of his three-year entry-level deal.
