Islanders centre Kevin Colley broke his neck after a headfirst crash into the boards and will undergo surgery Thursday.
The Islanders would not say Wednesday whether the injury will end his season or threaten his career. For now, the 27-year-old player is out indefinitely.
Colley broke the fifth cervical vertebrae in his neck but there is no paralysis. The surgery will repair and stabilize his spine.
AndreFantasyHockey: Jag är redan med i en keeper league på Fantrax. Hade jag inte haft den hade jag nog hoppat på er istället, men jag tycker däremot att någon annan härinne borde gå med för att det är bland de bästa besluten jag har tagit. Hoppas ni hittar någon.
