Islanders' Adam Pelech Placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve

The team also places Matt Martin on injured reserve, claims Mike Reilly off waivers, and is rumored to be considering a trade.

Adam Pelech, a key defenseman for the New York Islanders, has been placed on long-term injured reserve due to an upper-body injury sustained in a game against the Ottawa Senators.
The Islanders have also placed forward Matt Martin on injured reserve with an upper-body injury.
While Pelech is on LTIR, the Islanders can exceed the salary cap by dipping into the LTIR pool, but they will not accrue cap space towards the trade deadline.
The Islanders have claimed 30-year-old journeyman Mike Reilly off waivers as an immediate solution to Pelech's absence.
Rumors suggest that the Islanders might be considering a trade, with names like Noah Hanifin and Nikita Zadorov of the Flames being mentioned.
