Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for the Islanders on the injury front, it has.
Islanders’ Tavares Suffers Concussion; Can New York Catch A Break?
↵
Islanders' center John Tavares suffered what was being described as a "mild concussion" in Saturday night's 5-4 shootout loss to the Dallas Stars.
↵Tavares was involved in a center-ice collision with the Stars’ Adam Burish late in the first period. The contact seemed light and harmless until the second-year forward was slow to return to his feet and required assistance in leaving the ice.
↵
A team release said Tavares would be re-evaluated on Monday, prior a home matinee against the New York Rangers.

The Islanders have already lost Mark Streit (shoulder) and Kyle Okposo (shoulder) to long-term injuries.
