Blake's a Big Loss
Injured forward key part of penalty killing
He was examined again yesterday. The prognosis has him missing five games, including the Islanders' confrontation with the Dallas Stars tomorrow night at Nassau Coliseum.
Although his absence will afford rookie Justin Papineau more playing time and greater opportunity to demonstrate his offensive skills, Blake's injury may be more cloud than silver lining, as it involves penalty killing.

Islanders recall Mapletoft
The New York Islanders recalled center Justin Mapletoft from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers Tuesday afternoon.
The 22-year-old, who is tied for Bridgeport's team lead with 10 points, had two goals and two assists in 11 games with the Islanders last year. It's the first recall of the season for Bridgeport's top-line center, after he was the Islanders' last cut out of training camp.
Mapletoft is riding an eight-game scoring streak for the Sound Tigers, with nine points over that span. He has four goals and six assists this season.
