Andrew Gross: New York Islanders forward Andrew Ladd will be out for four to five months with an ACL injury. It’s not the same knee as before. He’s expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

Karlsson to skate less

Kevin Kurz: San Jose Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said that defenseman Erik Karlsson isn’t going to be skating every day. They’ll continue his rehab and still hope that he’ll be able to get into a regular season game.

Kevin Kurz: “I’m not a doctor, but when you’re skating every day and then you’re not, I would have to think that’s a setback. Very fair to wonder if Karlsson will be near 100 percent for the playoff opener in two weeks.”

Curtis Pashelka: Sharks forward Joe Pavelski could be ready for tomorrow. The Sharks are being cautious with him.

Hughes to practice with the Canucks

Brendan Batchelor: Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes will practice today and they’ll see how it goes. Would be surprised if he doesn’t play tomorrow.
