Islanders' Shane Prince: Not skating

Prince (upper body) isn't expected to play Thursday versus the Rangers, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

It also seems that Prince won't be able to play Saturday or Sunday, when the Islanders play the Devils in back to back games. The Islanders haven't announced the exact nature of his injury, but it seems that the best bet for his return to the lineup is Tuesday in Detroit.
