Clutterbuck (upper body) has begun to skate but isn't ready to practice yet, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck has been out of action since Jan. 21 due to the injury. If he does return this season, he is expected to remain in his usual fourth-line role with Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas. As for the trade deadline earlier Friday, the team stood pat. The Isles are currently holding down the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference but have several teams nipping at their heels and have games in hand on the Isles.

Clutterbuck (upper body) is still out for the foreseeable future, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders have been very tight-lipped about every injury they have this season. Whether that is from general manager Lou Lamoriello or new coach Lane Lambert, they don't even like to give out if it's an upper or lower-body injury. In the case of Clutterbuck, we know that he had been dealing with a shoulder injury since the offseason, but we don't know if that is keeping him out of the lineup. It may not matter, however, with all of the team's injuries, if they fall out of the playoff picture, it's unlikely they would bring him back this season.

Clutterbuck (upper body) may have played his last game this season, Kevin Kurz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck is officially still listed as out indefinitely, but it is fair to wonder if he has played his last game this season. Clutterbuck has dealt with multiple injuries this season, and his body may not be able to withstand his physical style of play. If Clutterbuck has played his last game of the season, then general manager Lou Lamoriello will have to explain why he gave Clutterbuck a two-year contract extension during the offseason and why he didn't trade him before the trade deadline last season.
