Two months out from the NHL’s trade deadline, selling off assets is “not even a thought” in the mind of Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello.

Before their game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday at 10 PM ET, New York Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello provided some injury updates. All information is courtesy of the New York Islanders ( islanders.nhl.com ). Collectively, it's good news for the team.
