Islanders News: Crawling to the finish line; Arena Arrangement; Tigers win, Pulock hurt

The Islanders are off until Wednesday’s game against the Rangers so they have a few days to digest a week jam-packed with missed opportunities. Maybe it’s a good time to have some time away from the rink. Or not.

• In his first fight as an Islander, Andrew Ladd caught Brandon Dubinsky with the old forearm shiver. [Newsday]
• Yesterday was also Anders Lee's Kancer Jam charity event and it looks like a good and lucrative time was had by all. [Islanders pics | News 12 LI video (sub. req.)]
• A little "news" from last night: On Hockey Night in Canada, Nick Kypreos reports that he's heard the Islanders and Barclays are negotiating a temporary agreement (or whatever it would be) for a few more seasons.

• Bridgeport got a needed 4-1 win over Utica, but Eamon McAdam was in charge. Bad News: Ryan Pulock was hurt (on a hit from Andrey Pedan, of all people) although it might not be serious, according to Brent Thompson. [CT Post | Soundin' Off]
• Looks like Linus Soderstrom has signed an extension with HV-71 of the SEL. We'll have more on this from our friend Zeb from Eyes on the Prize a little later. [HV-71]
