Clutterbuck (undisclosed) will be a game-time call for Thursday's Game 5 versus Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck has just one point in eight contests this postseason while averaging 12:13 of ice time, so fantasy players shouldn't be banking on him producing offensively if he does stay in the lineup. In the event Clutterbuck can't play, it will be Tom Kuhnhackl or Ross Johnston who takes on a fourth-line role.

Coach Barry Trotz expects Clutterbuck (undisclosed) to be available for Thursday's Game 5 against the Capitals, The Athletic's Arthur Staple reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck exited Tuesday's Game 4 loss in the second period after getting tangled up with Washington's Radko Gudas, but whatever forced him from that contest clearly wasn't overly serious. He should skate in his usual spot on the Islanders' fourth line during Thursday's Game 5.

Clutterbuck scored a goal on four shots and added three hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Capitals in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders spent a lot of time in their own zone in the third period, but Clutterbuck's goal took some pressure off by establishing a two-goal lead. It's the winger's first point in six playoff games. He's added 14 hits, seven shots on goal and a plus-1 rating.

Clutterbuck (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup Tuesday versus the Canucks, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck saw just 5:55 of ice time last Thursday due to an apparent issue and sat out Saturday versus Carolina as a result. He will retake his spot in the bottom six Tuesday, looking to make up for a lot of lost time with some physical play.

According to Andrew Gross of Newsday, Clutterbuck didn't participate in line rushes during the pregame warmups, suggesting he won't play Saturday against Carolina.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck was considered a game-time call against the Hurricanes, so he should have a good shot at returning Tuesday against Vancouver. Another update on the veteran forward's status should surface prior to that contest.

Clutterbuck (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision for Saturday's matinee matchup with Carolina, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck will be a true game-time decision Saturday, as he'll participate in pregame warmups before a final decision on his availability is made. If he's able to go, the 32-year-old winger will slot into a bottom-six role against the Hurricanes.

Clutterbuck (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Saturday versus Carolina, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck missed the third period of the Islanders 4-3 loss to Ottawa on Thursday with the injury. Coach Barry Trotz stated Friday that Clutterbuck might be doubtful to play Saturday. That is curious wording and Clutterbuck did practice Friday so perhaps this is just a bit of gamesmanship by Trotz, so take this information with a grain of salt. Clutterbuck had just returned from the IL with a wrist injury and there is no information if the injury suffered Thursday is related to his wrist or if it's something new.

Coach Barry Trotz said Clutterbuck didn't play in the third period of Thursday's game against the Senators due to injury, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The specifics of the injury are unclear, as Trotz said Clutterbuck was "hurting". The 32-year-old didn't record a fantasy-relevant stat over just 5:55 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 loss. It's likely that the veteran will be monitored on a day-to-day basis, and Clutterbuck's next chance to suit up is Saturday against the Hurricanes.
