Jesse Nurmi of the New York Islanders is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks following a recent knee procedure. This development is a significant setback for the Islanders as they aim to solidify their roster for the upcoming season. Nurmi, who showcased promise in last season's campaign, was anticipated to play a crucial role in the team's forward lines.

The procedure, reportedly successful, will allow Nurmi the necessary recovery time to regain full strength and conditioning. His absence from training camp may also open opportunities for other players, including prospects eager to make an impression. Coach Lane Lambert will have to navigate this situation carefully as he assesses the balance of his squad.

As the Islanders prepare for the season, the coaching staff will closely monitor Nurmi's rehabilitation progress. The impact of his return will be pivotal in the team’s push for a playoff spot. The organization remains optimistic that Nurmi will return to form and contribute effectively as the season progresses.
