DePietro Out! NY Islanders Going the Same Route?

Rick DePietro will sit out for the game against the Devil's tonight due to headaches. According to ESPN, DePietro complained again of headaches after the Islanders' overtime loss to the New York Rangers on Sunday. The team wouldn't say whether DiPietro sustained a concussion when he was injured at Montreal on March 13, nor would it confirm if he has one now.

This could mean big trouble for the Islander's playoff hopes. They are currently in 8th place and will be starting goaltender Mike Dunham who has been less than effective to say the least.

With only 7 games remaining, and the Habs and Leafs waiting on the outside to grab that 8th and final playoff spot, it doesn't really look too good for the Islanders without their starting goalie.
