Tough break for the Islanders as they have announced on Friday that defenseman Adam Pelech will miss the remainder of the season due to an Achillies injury.
The injury was said to have occurred prior to January 2nd's game against the New Jersey Devils.

Pelech, 25, has appeared in 38 games for the Islanders this season while posting 1 goal, 8 assists and having a respectable +4 rating.
The Islanders have recalled defenseman Sebastian Aho from their AHL affiliate Bridgeport who has posted 20 points in 34 games.
It will be interesting to see where Aho slots in to lineup after having a solid start with Bridgeport.
