Hilbert not skating; DiPietro feeling good
Andy Hilbert, who left the ice yesterday with a groin strain, will not practice today.
On the other and, Rick DiPietro will. No huge surprise there, but considering what coach Scottt Gordon said yesterday, that's an encouraging sign.
Gordon said the team would proceed with caution with DiPietro's schedule--i.e. give him a day off if he felt sore--but by all indications he's feeling well.
***Islanders owner Charles Wang and his son are here to watch today's practice. New Isles defenseman James Wisniewski came into the stands, introduced himself to Wang and thanked him for bringing him to Long Island.
