Ethan Bear Injury: Likely out for weeks

Bear is expected to be out for at least a few weeks due to his undisclosed injury, per PuckPedia on Saturday.

Bear would probably head to the minors to start the season, but because injured players are ineligible for reassignment, the 28-year-old might be placed on the Islanders' non-roster injured list instead. He had 10 goals and 46 points across 62 regular-season appearances with AHL Hershey last year.
