Two injured Islanders

Nick Alberga: New York Islanders forward Casey Cizikas suffered a detached retina. He had surgery on Monday. Recovery time is expected to be six weeks.

David Pagnotta: Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech broke his wrist in Game 5 and would have been out for the remainder of the playoffs had they advanced.

Neal McHale: Islanders coach Barry Trotz said that Pelech will require surgery.

Thornton not sure if he’ll play for Davos

Kevin Kurz: San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton in a text on if he’ll play some games with Davos: “Really not sure yet, been skating with the guys every day but still haven’t decided.”

Team sponsorships

Rick Westhead: “Execs with several companies that sponsor NHL teams tell me talks for 2020-21 season deals presuppose teams will at least begin play in bubbles of some sort. Both the NHL & NHLPA hope to avoid this but cross-border travel and crowds at indoor events are unlikely for many months.”

Ottawa Senators: The Ottawa Senators unveiled a new team logo.

“It is time for the Senators to return to our roots,” said Mr. Eugene Melnyk, owner of the Ottawa Senators. “The fans of this great franchise have high expectations. We have heard from our fans, our partners and our players, and we have listened. It is time to return to our heritage, but in a bold, new manner. The Senators have a rich history in our community, and we are ready for the next chapter to begin.”
