Hamonic (knee) was able to practice Monday, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hamonic has missed the past 23 games for the Islanders with the knee injury but seems to have turned a corner with his recovery and is expected to play Thursday in Dallas. He hasn't been his usual steady self on defense this season but if the Islanders are going to make a playoff push they will need Hamonic as he is the teams best defender and is usually targeted with being on the ice versus the opposing team's top line.
