Islanders' Mike Reilly to Undergo Heart Procedure After Condition Detected

The defenseman will be sidelined indefinitely following the discovery of a preexisting heart condition during concussion testing.

Mike Reilly's heart condition was uncovered during routine concussion tests after an injury on November 1.
The New York Islanders defenseman has been cleared from his concussion but will be out indefinitely for the heart procedure.
General Manager Lou Lamoriello stated that the condition is something Reilly was likely born with but was previously undetected.
Reilly is expected to make a full recovery and return to play, though it may take several months.
Reilly, 31, has been with the Islanders for a year and has played in 11 games this season without recording any points.
