Jaroslav Halak will miss the rest of the New York Islanders’ regular season.

“He’s out at least six weeks,” Isles head coach Jack Capuano said. “We’ll go from there.”

The Islanders' goaltender suffered a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

“He’s an experienced guy who’s been down this stretch before and played some big games for us as we’ve made our playoff run,” Capuano said. “It’s a big loss for our team, but guys are going to get an opportunity to step in and hopefully can do the job.”
