Islanders' Andrew Ladd: Still not practicing

Ladd (strain) missed his 12th straight practice Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Ladd did participate in a pre-practice goalie session which mainly consists of shooting work, but he once again didn't practice with the team. While skating should be seen as a good sign, there is still no timetable for his return to team activities. Once he does return, he's expected to play on the third line.
