Comeau staying behind; Gillies coming up
Blake Comeau, who suffered facial lacerations and is experiencing some back pains after Michael Ryder's boarding incident Saturday, will not be making the trip to Philadelphia with the team tomorrow.
Bridgeport enforcer Trevor Gillies, who was called up the last time the Islanders paid a visit to Wachovia Center, will be up for tomorrow's game to provide the Islanders some physicality and edge against a gritty Flyers team.
Rick DiPietro (knee swelling), Trent Hunter (upper body), Radek Martinek (knee) and Jeff Tambellini all skated before practice Monday.
