Lubomir Visnovsky got back into the Islanders lineup Saturday afternoon.

He missed two games to attend to a personal matter back home in Slovakia. Visnovsky picked up a power-play assist, five shots and a minus-1 rating in his return against Washington. Get him back in your lineup if you normally would.

Lubomir Visnovsky might not be back this week after returning to Slovakia Tuesday because of the death of a close friend's 13-year-old son.

He didn't play Tuesday night and isn't expected to play Thursday against the Rangers. Visnovsky may not be back for Sunday's match-up versus Washington either. According to reports out of Bratislava, Visnovsky's friend lost his son in a helicopter crash over the weekend. He has played well with the Islanders since joining the team with six points in 12 games.

Lubomir Visnovsky is away from the New York Islanders and won't play Tuesday night due to personal reasons.

According to Isles beat writer Arthur Staple, Visnovsky has returned home to Slovakia to deal with a "family tragedy." However, Staple says the matter has nothing to do with the health of his son, who had surgery in early February and was part of the reason Visnovsky was delayed in returning to the NHL. Staple reports Visnovsky is expected to return by the weekend, which means he'll miss at least two games.

Visnovsky has one goal and five assists in 12 games this season and is a surprising plus-1 on an Islanders team who is minus-11 as a team. He will be back on the weekend so make sure to get him back in your lineup.

Lubomir Visnovsky said that his 4-year-old son had successful surgery in Bratislava, Slovakia, over the weekend.

He also said that his wife and two children will be joining him on Long Island soon. That's good news for the veteran defenseman. Visnovsky played in his second game with the Islanders on Monday night, where he picked up two power-play assists and logged 21:19 of ice time.

· He's a little late to the party but welcome Lubomir Visnovsky! I wonder when you will be voted off the Island.

· It's too bad the Bruins/Lightning matchup was postponed. That was one that I wanted to see yesterday.

· Gotta give the Devils their due. They beat a streaking Penguins team at home. Today is revenge for the Pens!

· OH NO! OH NO! OH NO! Now Devils fans will always be reminded of that fateful day. Congrats on New Jersey rookie Stefan Matteau on scoring his first NHL goal!

Lubomir Visnovsky will be thrown right into Islanders' first power-play unit against the Sabres Saturday night.

With only one practice under his belt, the veteran rearguard will man the point alongside Mark Streit. Although Visnovsky is bound to be a little rusty from not playing for weeks, playing on the Isles' potent power-play will make him immediately valuable and worthy of activation.
