DiPietro Out 4-6 Weeks

The Islanders announced Saturday night that their goalie, Rick DiPietro, had undergone arthroscopic knee surgery. This was to repair a minor meniscus injury, which is supposedly unrelated to previous injuries. The injury was apparently suffered during warmups of the October 25th game against the Carolina Hurricanes. DiPietro was pulled after one period of play.

He will be out for 4-6 weeks.
