Isles mum on details about banged-up Hamonic

travishamonicgetty

New York Islanders defenseman Travis Hamonic was shaken up by a hit thanks to Ottawa Senators forward Derek Grant on Sunday, but the team isn’t providing much information about his status.

The Islanders didn’t provide word on the type of injury* or severity, only that they’ll re-evaluate him on Monday, New York Newsday’s Arthur Staple reports. Details are scarce regarding whether Grant delivered a check that was worthy of a look from the league.

Obviously, the information is pretty cloudy right now, but it’s also obvious that the Islanders hope that Hamonic, 23, didn’t suffer a significant injury. They gave him a surprising seven-year, $27 million extension this offseason, so seeing a possible health concern crop up is worrisome.

As that report indicates, it might take until Monday to learn more. This post will be updated if video of the hit surfaces tonight.

A substantial injury could very well open the door for a prospect like Griffin Reinhart, but we’ll see.

* - Jeez, you’d think they would tell us which half of his torso isn’t quite right like every other team ...
