New York Islanders defenseman Johnny Boychuk will take in the final two games from the press box.
The 34-year-old has been shut down for the remainder of the regular season due to injury, head coach Doug Weight announced Thursday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday Sports.
Weight noted it's yet to be determined whether Boychuk will require offseason surgery. Earlier this season, he missed 18 games with a lower-body injury.
In 58 games, he put up six goals and 18 points.
