Hamonic skated Wednesday for the third straight day and coach Jack Capuano stated after practice that if Hamonic doesn't have a setback Thursday that he won't be afraid to put him in the lineup Friday versus the Senators. The Islanders do play back to back games Friday and Saturday so there is always a chance the team holds him out until Saturday if they don't want to play him in back to back games as soon as he returns. Either way this is good news for the Isles as they need reinforcements on their blue line with Adam Pelech and Johnny Boychuk nursing injuries of their own.
