Islanders' Dennis Seidenberg: Returning to lineup Thursday

Seidenberg (jaw) has been activated from injured reserve and will be in the lineup for Thursday night's game in Washington.

Analysis:

Seidenberg returns to the Islanders' lineup after missing the last seven games to injury. Despite playing in only 15 games so far this season, Seidenberg has managed four assists and a very respectable four goals from the blue line, albeit at an unsustainable 22.2 shooting percentage. Either way, the Isles should be happy to have him back and fantasy owners should keep an eye on him to see if he can add to his solid point total.
