Player News

Marty Reasoner may suit up in Game 1 | 05/01/2013 12:32 PM

News

Marty Reasoner appears as though he will play for the Islanders in Game 1 at Pittsburgh Wednesday night.

Arthur Staple on Twitter

Impact

Coach Jack Capuano said he "can do the job for us, no question." Reasoner hasn't played since April 4 and he doesn't have much NHL playoff experience, but he is a veteran player. Whether he plays or doesn't, he doesn't have any fantasy value.

Report: Isles 'shopping' Marty Reasoner | 02/18/2013 11:37 AM

News

The Islanders are "shopping" Marty Reasoner, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.

Newsday

Impact

The veteran center has pretty much lost his role as a fourth-liner/penalty-killer, and there's probably not going to be much interest in him. He's in the last year of a two-year, $2.7 million deal, with seven points in 71 total games with the team. Reasoner is likely to be put on waivers soon.
