The Islanders announced today that veteran defenseman Andy Sutton will miss the next 4-6 weeks after an MRI this morning revealed a partial tear of his hamstring. Sutton suffered the injury during the Islanders' 3-2 win over San Jose on Monday afternoon at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

Defenseman Drew Fata has been recalled from the Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League.

Fata, a 6-1, 210-pound defenseman, has played in 48 games this season with the Sound Tigers, registering three goals and five assists. His 156 penalty minutes ranks second on the team.

Fata appeared in three games for the Islanders during the 2006-07 season, recording one goal and five penalty minutes.

Elsewhere on the Islanders' blueline, Bruno Gervais is day-to-day with a strained oblique. Brendan Witt, listed as out 2-4 weeks after spraining his knee on Feb. 12, remains on schedule to return within that time frame.
