Islanders' Johnny Boychuk: Remains out Saturday
Boychuk (upper body) will not play Saturday against the visiting Kings.
Analysis:
While the cerebral competitor is about to miss his second straight game, he hasn't been placed on IR, which leaves at least a teaspoon's worth of optimism that Boychuk could be ready for Sunday's home clash with the Flyers. Scott Mayfield will hold down the fort in the meantime.
