Clutterbuck (undisclosed) is day-to-day, though he will travel to Raleigh ahead of Wednesday's game against the Hurricanes, Brian Compton of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck was clearly injured in Game 2 on Sunday, but the Islanders have been keeping specific details of the issue close to their collective vest. The Isles benefit from Clutterbuck's physical edge whenever he is in the lineup, as he's committed to 29 hits through six games in the playoffs thus far.

Clutterbuck (undisclosed) had to be helped off the ice following Sunday's matchup with Carolina, Mike Morreale of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders have a few extra days off, which could help Clutterbuck recover, depending on the severity of his injury. The winger may be filling a fourth-line role, but is also logging time on the power play (1:22 of ice time per game in the playoffs). The Ontario native's potential absence could force the club to recall a player or two from the minors ahead of Wednesday's Game 3 clash.

EDGE Analysis
The team announced Friday that Clutterbuck will be healthy to return for the next round, and this news confirms that notion.

EDGE Analysis
This news was relayed from GM Lou Lamoriello. Clutterbuck reportedly stayed off the ice Friday, but he's clearly benefited from the Islanders sweeping the Penguins in the first round; it has afforded him more time to work with trainers between games.

Clutterbuck exited Tuesday's Game 4 win over the Penguins with an undisclosed injury and didn't return, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck left in the second period after blocking a shot, and he returned briefly in the third frame before heading back to the locker room. He didn't return after that. Coach Barry Trotz had no update on Clutterbuck's condition after the game and said the team would have the day off Wednesday. Expect the earliest update to come Thursday, but Clutterbuck will have extra time to recover after the Islanders swept the Penguins.

Clutterbuck exited Tuesday's Game 4 versus the Penguins with an undisclosed injury, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After blocking a shot in the second period, Clutterbuck went to the locker room and didn't come out for the third. He has yet to score this series, and the 31-year-old would benefit from additional rest if the Islanders can finish the sweep.

Including the playoffs, Clutterbuck has now gone 19 games without scoring a goal.
EDGE Analysis
Clutterbuck isn't relied upon to light the lamp but rather to hit and annoy every player in a different colored jersey. Clutterbuck, along with Casey Cizikas and Matt Martin, form what might be the best fourth-line in the NHL. The Islanders feed off of this line and will need them to provide constant energy if they are to defeat the Penguins and advance in the playoffs.
