The New York Islanders announced today that goaltender Rick DiPietro is expected to miss the next four to six weeks with both facial fractures and knee swelling.
DiPietro, 29, has played in 21 games with the Islanders this season, posting a 7-10-4 record with a 3.36 goals against average (GAA) and a .890 save percentage (sv%). The Winthrop, MA, native was the first overall selection in the 2000 NHL Entry Draft. In 302 career regular season games with the Islanders, DiPietro shows a 126-127-8 record with a 2.83 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

[h1]Daniel Paille suspended 4 games[/h1]
Boston Bruins forward Daniel Paille was suspended four games by the league Friday for his blindside hit to Dallas Stars forward Raymond Sawada in Thursday night's game in Boston.
Paille had a Friday morning disciplinary hearing via conference call with league vice president of hockey operations Mike Murphy.
The Bruins, in a statement, said Paille would comment after practice Friday.
Normally, league disciplinarian Colin Campbell would have held the hearing. However, Campbell's son, Gregory Campbell, is a Bruins forward and was involved in Thursday night's game, in which Paille was ejected for an illegal hit to the head.
Paille got a match penalty for his hit on Sawada in the second period of the Bruins' 6-3 win in Boston.
Sawada had lost control of the puck and as he leaned down to gain control, Paille connected with a blindside hit to Sawada's shoulder and head.
Sawada was able to get up on his own and skated off, but did not return. Stars coach Marc Crawford said Friday morning that Sawada had a broken nose and a sprained shoulder.
"It's a bad hit, right? That's what they're trying to get rid of and you can't be hypocritical about it when it happens to you and say it's fine when your teammate does it," Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference said after the game. "You hear it from every player after they do it; they feel bad. I talked to Danny and he feels bad. It's tough, that backchecking forward, to make those kind of hits. It's so hard to do it in a clean fashion with the new rules."
It was an unusually violent game from the start. In the first four seconds of the game, there were three separate fights. Stars agitator Steve Ott bloodied Gregory Campbell one second after the puck was dropped. That was followed by Boston's Shawn Thornton pounding Stars forward Krys Barch one second later.
And then Boston's Adam McQuaid was fighting Dallas' Brian Sutherby four seconds in as the crowd roared with approval.

NO GET OUT OF HERE!The answer is probably yes though. I'm the only Wheeler fan in Boston, but he could get you some goals. Send us Ehrhoff.

Unless i'm blind, all the replays i've seen were shoulder to shoulder. On the plus side, we get to see what Zach Hamill can do.
Game was great last night, I had a feeling Ott/Campbell would go off the faceoff but I never expected 3 fights in 4 seconds, then Ferrence with a straight up KO.He's really stepped up his body game.
I almost didnt wanna go cause I barely slept the night before and had school all day.Whenever I think that, it ends up being an awesome game.
Shawn Thornton turning into a sniper this season.

Reading that stuff is scary, you see it in all sports, guys who just can't shake concussions and don't recover quickly.

Pens are handling business though. Your squad like aforementioned is still winning games without their 2 superstars, that in itself shouldn't go unnoticed. Once Crosby gets back you guys will probably go on another crazy streak too.
Im scared... legit
I will be extra depressed if this affects him for a while or even longer than that.

Sidney Crosby doesn't skate with his head down like Lindros. He'll be fine.
