The New York Islanders announced Friday that goaltender Rick DiPietro will be out indefinitely due to a concussion.
DiPietro suffered the injury Wednesday when he was hit in the mask by a puck during practice.
DiPietro did not play in any of the Islanders' first three games.
The oft-injured netminder has played just 39 games the last three seasons due to an assortment of injuries. In 26 games last season, he went 8-14-4 with a 3.44 goals-against average and .886 save percentage.
DiPietro, who turned 30 last month, is in his 11th season. In 307 games, he has 127 wins, a 2.84 GAA and .903 save percentage.

I hope Wang and Snow enjoy paying his salary for the next decade.
while i may not like gm snow it was idiot mad gm milbury and owner wang paying that wasted potential's money into this decade
Along with perpetually injured DiPietro we can now add;
- Tim Connolly's injury has been upgraded from 'day to day' to 'we assume he's permanently broken till x-rays show different'.
- Ales Hemsky. Edm colliseum now plays 'pop goes the weasel' every time he ventures into the corners in anticipation of his shoulder jumping out of it's socket.
- Peter Mueller. After a year off to recover from his concussions his symptoms have returned after only two games. His career may well be over. A premonition of what is to come for Crosby.
