Islanders' Johnny Boychuk: Expected to miss Saturday's game

Boychuk (lower body) is likely to miss Saturday's game against the Bruins.

Analysis:

Assuming Boychuk doesn't take the ice Saturday, that will make it 10 games in a row missed with the lower-body injury. Boychuk has notched 21 points -- and 140 shots on goal -- in 59 games, so his presence is missed.
