Marty Reasoner was ejected from Game 1 Wednesday night after he was assessed a kneeing major with 2:10 left in the third period on a collision with Pittsburgh forward Jussi Jokinen. Reasoner, who was a healthy scratch for the Islanders in the final 10 games of the regular season, stuck his leg out on the play but the contact was more ankle on ankle than anything else. New York's Travis Hamonic, Casey Cizikas and Matt Moulson were given misconduct penalties on the ensuing scrum, while Doug Murray, Jarome Iginla and Pascal Dupuis got the same from the Penguins' side. It isn't clear if Reasoner will face supplemental discipline for the hit and Jokinen's status wasn't updated after the game.

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

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

Marty Reasoner will re-join the Islanders tonight after missing more than a month with a broken finger. Reasoner suffered the injury Jan. 6 and missed 17 games. The 34-year-old fourth-line center is looking his first goal of the season. He is 0-5-5 in 35 games.

Marty Reasoner (hand) has been moved to the injured reserve list. Reasoner has been out since January 6th, so the Islanders can activate him as soon as he's healthy. That being said, there's no known timetable for his return.

Marty Reasoner returned to action on Saturday January 28.

Marty Reasoner broke his right hand when he blocked a shot on Friday. Reasoner is expected to be out for weeks because of this injury. He has five points and a minus-16 rating in 35 contests this season.

Marty Reasoner was a healthy scratch for the Islanders on Wednesday. He has posted one assist and a minus-13 rating in 18 games this season. Fellow veteran Brian Rolston and youngster Nino Niederreiter were also scratched from the lineup against Philadelphia.

Marty Reasoner (knee) was on the ice Thursday for the Islanders' full practice. Reasoner has missed the first week of training camp after twisting his knee during a conditioning skate, but he should be fine for the Islanders' season opener. He had 14 goals and 18 assists in 82 games with the Florida Panthers last season.

Marty Reasoner may have twisted his knee at Saturday's conditioning skate. He said he will probably try to test it out on Monday after he was forced to leave the ice early on Saturday. We'll let you know when further details become available.
