Islanders' Cal Clutterbuck: Unlikely to play Saturday

Clutterbuck (lower body) didn't practice Friday and isn't expected to play Saturday in Columbus, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Clutterbuck has twice tried to come back from this lower-body injury only to suffer a setback each time. The Islanders are unlikely to let him try again until they are sure he is 100 percent healthy. His best chance to return to game action will be Thursday in Dallas.
