New York Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech has been placed on long-term injured reserve Saturday, one day after he sustained an upper-body injury in a game against the Ottawa Senators.
Pelech was injured on his second shift of the first period and did not return to the contest.
He will be required to miss at least 10 games and 24 calendar days after being placed on long-term injured reserve.
Also on Saturday, the Islanders placed rugged forward Matt Martin on injured reserve with an upper-body injury. The move is retroactive to Nov. 15.
