What happened: The Islanders announced that defenseman Logan Stanley will not return to tonight's game with a lower-body injury.

Why it matters: Stanley signed with New York this offseason after going unsigned into camp following his stint with Buffalo. The Islanders were already short on the blue line, with Logan Mailloux activated from injured reserve for his season debut on Nov. 10.

What to watch: The team has not given a timeline for Stanley's return.
