Islanders' Cal Clutterbuck: All but ruled out Thursday

Clutterbuck (lower body) is still labeled day-to-day ahead of Thursday's road game against the Habs, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

This development effectively deems Clutterbuck unavailable for the next contest, with Stephen Gionta assuming the right-wing spot on the fourth line. Opponents probably love when Clutterbuck doesn't play, as he seems to hit everything that moves -- he's collected 152 hits in 45 games this season -- while managing to stay out of the sin bin most of the time. Clutterbuck's next chance to return will be Saturday in Columbus.
