I wanted to write this at 8 am, but wasn't given the green light when I needed it. So now, I'm behind everyone else. Oh well.

The NY Islanders have called up Bridgeport's Aaron Ness who will 'likely play regardless of whether Donovan can go." That was according to Art Staple at 11:40 am.

It seems the Isles are pretty banged up right now as Clutterbuck gave Capuano cause for concern along with Donovan. He may get Colin McDonald back tonight and he has determined that Kevin Poulin will be in net.

Aaron Ness was mentioned even before the season stated as someone the Isles would call up when the need was there. Ness played nine games with the Isles in the 2011-12 season and has been doing very well in Bridgeport. This is his reward.

So tell me... How do you think that makes Calvin DeHaan feel? Just curious.

Be sure to check out Matt Karash's article on tonight's tilt here on Hockeybuzz http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=55480#.Unvl5p0o7DR

Two struggling teams both looking for the points. One will get them. It will be interesting to see what Jack Capuano does with his lines after Tuesday's blow-out and his statement regarding non-production.

Will this be another game decided by one goal? Eleven of the Islanders' 15 games this season have been decided by one goal (4-4-3). Thank you E Hornick and your stats machine of a brain.
