The New York Islanders will be short-handed on the blue line Friday when they face the Arizona Coyotes.
Nick Leddy won't play due to what Islanders head coach Jack Capuano previously classified as an upper-body ailment. He's listed as day to day.
Leddy leads the Islanders with an average time-on-ice of 23:52 through four games.
Ryan Pulock will take his place in the lineup after being recalled Thursday on an emergency basis from the AHL.
