Logan's Blog:Freddy Meyer’s surgery; Meyer Returns tonight 11/26/08

You’re not going to believe this, but the Islanders are issuing an injury report that contains timely details and a recovery timetable. Don’t know if this is the start of a welcome trend or not, but I’ll shoot a report out to the blog first and ask questions later.

It seems defenseman Freddy Meyer underwent sports hernia surgery today. Amazingly enough, the timetable for his return is only two to four weeks. Meyer suffered his injury in the third period against Carolina last Saturday and has missed the past two games. Based on what coach Scott Gordon said earlier this season, two to four weeks means back on the ice in about two weeks with a chance to return somewhere in the following two-week window.

The Islanders have 15 games this month, so figure Meyer to miss anywhere from half to all of them. His loss hurts because he has been solid all season and has provided a physical edge to his play, especially with his hip checks at mid-ice.

ISLES FILES: There’s good news when it comes to injured defensemen. Radek Martinek (undisclosed shoulder injury) was on the ice at the optional morning skate today. He was injured Oct. 11 and has missed the past seven games. If his shoulder injury is comparable to Chris Campoli’s earlier this season, Martinek could be back in a week or two.

Enforcer Mitch Fritz also skated along with Jeff Tambellini, who was a healthy scratch in Philadelphia Thursday, rehabbing forward Mike Sillinger and backup goaltender Yann Danis.

Had a chance to talk to defenseman Mark Streit this afternoon before his first match against his old Montreal team tomorrow night at the Coliseum. The results of that interview will be in Saturday’s Newsday.






Well what do you know, the Isles telling us about a surgery?

The D is complete, and Freddy is back! Looks like he is in for Bruno. Also, if anyone's taking count, Pock's suspension is over.
