According to the New York Newsday, Rick DiPietro has gotten rid of the knee brace he was wearing after having minor knee surgery in June. This is likely a sign that his rehabilitation is progressing well, and he will probably be good to go when the season starts. A healthy DiPietro is critical to Islanders' success, if they are to have any, this season. Considering how little New York improved compared to the rest of the Atlantic Division, Ricky D will have to be at his best almost every night to give the Isles a chance to win. Even if that happens, I still forecast a second consecutive last-place finish for the Islanders.
