DiPietro receives IV's after game, will not make trip to Buffalo

 Rick DiPietro, who missed practice Wednesday with the flu, had to receive fluids intravenously after the game. He will not be traveling with the team to Buffalo.

DiPietro, who just returned Monday from a five-game absence with a strained groin, also received fluids via IV yesterday as well. The Islanders expect him to be available Sunday against Buffalo at home.
