Cal Clutterbuck, a vital part of the Isles depth and success, underwent wrist surgery today. He will be out indefinitely.

Clutterbuck sustained the injury in a freak accident against the Bruins, as an off-balance Patrice Bergeron cut into his wrist with his skate. He had three goals and four assist in 33 games for the Isles, while leading the team with 116 hits, good for 6th in the league.

F Andrew Ladd, 34, has been recalled from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL. Ladd, the Isles salary cap albatross ($5.5 million hit) has nine points in 19 AHL contests this season, and has yet to see NHL action.
