Islanders' Matt Martin: Sitting out Thursday

Martin (upper body) won't play Thursday versus the Kraken, Ethan Sears of the New York Post reports.

Martin logged just 7:11 of ice time Wednesday versus the Canucks, which is a bit low even compared to his average of 8:27 per game. With Julien Gauthier (illness) also out, Hudson Fasching figures to get into the lineup. Martin can be considered day-to-day ahead of Saturday's game in Calgary.
