Yann Danis, who went from being a competent backup to
José Theodore to being redundant in Hamilton, is hoping he
has a new lease on his National Hockey League career.
Danis signed with the New York Islanders during the offseason
because he thought he would get a chance to play at some point. The
Islanders' No. 1 goaltender, Rick DiPietro, was coming off hip and
knee surgeries and his backup, Joey MacDonald, is a journeyman with
little NHL experience.
The Islanders called up Danis from their American Hockey League
farm club in Bridgeport, Ct., this week after placing DiPietro on
injured reserve. While the exact nature and extent of DiPietro's
injury is clouded in mystery, he won't be dressed for the Canadiens
game tonight.
