Islanders' Jesse Nurmi: Set for non-roster injured list

Nurmi (knee) was designated for non-roster injured reserve Monday.

Nurmi is expected to be sidelined until at least late October if not early November, so his designation for non-roster injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. Once given the green light, the Finnish winger figures to be headed to AHL Bridgeport, where he will likely play the bulk of his games this season.
