Islanders' Anthony Beauvillier: Out with upper-body injury

Beauvillier (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Rangers and is considered day-to-day.

This is a fairly new development for Beauvillier, who logged 18:24 of ice time Tuesday versus the Panthers. The 24-year-old forward has been playing in a top-six role lately, so this is a notable absence for the Islanders. Oliver Wahlstrom will likely take Beauvillier's place in the lineup as well as his power-play ice time.
