Islanders' Jordan Eberle: Day-to-day after taking hit in practice

Eberle's status is uncertain for Saturday night's contest after taking a hard hit in Thursday's practice.

Analysis:

According to head coach Doug Weight, Eberle will be evaluated after Friday's practice before the team decides whether he'll suit up Saturday. The 27-year-old has recorded two assists in his first four games as an Islander, and is second among forwards on the team with 17:22 of average ice time.
