Islanders' De Haan out indefinitely with upper-body injury

The New York Islanders' blue line was dealt a blow on Saturday, as the club announced defenseman Calvin de Haan is out indefinitely.

De Haan was injured during the Islanders' contest against the Los Angeles Kings last Saturday, but the specifics surrounding his malady remain unconfirmed.

However, Arthur Staple of Newsday Sports previously speculated that the injury could be season-ending.

Prior to getting hurt, de Haan had been quietly having a solid season, registering 12 points and a plus-11 rating in just under 19 minutes of ice time per night.
