Fantasy Analysis
Evgeni Nabokov's injury isn't believed to be serious, but the Islanders have no reason to rush him back. John Grahame was signed by the Islanders on Thursday, presumably to replace Nabokov. (Updated 03/29/2012).

Ilya Bryzgalov made 29 saves, coming within 6:30 of a fourth straight shutout, and the Philadelphia Flyers beat the New York Islanders 3-2 on Thursday for their seventh win in eight games.
Nabokov had an eventful 2010. First, he decided to come back to the NHL from the KHL, expressed interest in playing for Detroit, but was ultimately claimed by the Islanders. He then refused to play for the Isles, sat out the season, and now has to play this season with the Isles. It would've been a much better idea if Nabokov would've just played with the Islanders last season because he would've been a free agent this season and could have made his way out of Long Island. Anyway, he has stated he will report to the Islanders this season, yet in all likelihood, the club will look to trade Nabokov as he just doesn't fit into the plans. (Updated 8/16/11)
