Jack Hillen has concussion
Sorry I had trouble accessing the blog last night to post this:
Defenseman Jack Hillen is out with a concussion. Hillen left Saturday's morning skate in LA feeling light-headed. Although the Islanders weren't sure if he had whip-lash or a concussion at that point, they held him out of the game as a precaution.
After undergoing an evaluation, tests determined the latter, hence Dylan Reese's call-up Monday.
Reese, who has one goal and five assists in 15 games with Bridgeport this season, will play tonight in Jack Capuano's NHL head coaching debut.
