"Pelech suffered the injury just 2:23 into Friday night's 5-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators when Drake Batherson hit him into the end boards. He immediately clutched his wrist and went straight down the tunnel. He did not return for the rest of the game."
"Not only did Pelech miss two games earlier this season with a lower-body injury, but Scott Mayfield missed seven games as well, also because of a lower-body injury. Just moments after Pelech was forced out on Friday, fellow defenseman Sebastian Aho also suffered an injury that ended his night early. The Islanders have yet to provide an update on him."
"If Aho is also out, the Islanders will have to call up another defenseman to ensure that six are dressed. They're given that option even with their measly cap space of approximately $534,000 because they put Pelech on LTIR, which allows them to call up another player."
