2016-04-01 analysis Zidlicky has missed the past 13 games with the upper-body ailment. At 39 years old, Zidlicky is no spring chicken, and he's not nearly as mobile as he used to be. Still, he could be a decent spot play in deep leagues since he does average close to two minutes per game on the man advantage and knows the game well.
2016-04-01 update Zidlicky (upper body) will return to the lineup Saturday night against the Penguins, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
2016-04-01 injury_note Zidlicky (upper body) will be "out a little while," according to coach Jack Capuano, which rules him out for Saturday's tilt with Boston, <a href="https://twitter.com/StapeNewsday/status/708685517148311553">Arthur Staple of Newsday</a> reports.

2016-03-12 analysis Without a definitive timeline to return, it is unclear when Zidlicky will be ready to return. The Islanders playing three games in the next four days, meaning the blueliner could be out at least another week. Having registered 15 points in 49 contests this season, the veteran does offer mid-range fantasy value, but has gone without a point in his last five matchups.

2016-01-12 analysis Zidlicky has missed seven games this season with Islanders coach Jack Capuano occasionally parking him on the bench. Scott Mayfield is the only other Isles blueliner that is healthy and has a right-handed shot, but he'll reportedly draw out of the lineup in favor of Zidlicky on Tuesday.
2016-01-12 update Zidlicky will be in the lineup Tuesday night against the visiting Blue Jackets.
2015-12-29 analysis Zidlicky reportedly will replace Brian Strait against the Buds. Interestingly, the 53 points that Zidlicky put up in his rookie campaign with the Predators has proven to be his best mark through 11 years of service time. He can still get it done offensively as a bottom-pairing defenseman, but Zidlicky is 38 years old and the Islanders don't need him to be a 20-plus minute player like he was with the Devils in 2014-15.
2015-12-29 update Zidlicky will be in the lineup Tuesday night, opposing the Maple Leafs on the road, Arthur Staple of Newsday reports.
2015-12-13 analysis Zidlicky had been held off the scoresheet in four straight coming in, and hadn't found the back of the net since the first game of the season, but continued to find success against his former club as he now has four points against the Devils in three games this year. The blueliner has just 10 points on the year though, and likely won't contribute much in standard formats.
2015-12-13 update Zidlicky potted a pair of goals in Sunday's win over the Devils.
2015-11-28 analysis Zidlicky only saw 13:01 of ice time, and these points were his first in eight games.
2015-11-28 update Zidlicky notched two assists versus the Panthers on Friday.
2015-10-10 analysis Zidlicky is getting up their in years, and he only played 15:16 in this game. However, he managed seven goals and 34 points last season, so there may still be a bit of gas left in his tank.
2015-10-10 update Zidlicky scored a goal Friday against the Blackhawks.

2015-09-18 analysis Zidlicky split his 2014-15 season between the Red Wings and the Devils, totaling 34 points (seven goals, 27 assists) on the campaign. Considering the point total, the veteran could have another worthwile fantasy season on tap in 2015-16.
2015-09-18 update Zidlicky signed a one-year contract with the Islanders on Friday.
2015-09-09 analysis If the two sides come to terms then Zidlicky would essentially replace Lubomir Visnovsky and could become something of a power play specialist. This signing could also be a signal that the Isles don't believe Ryan Pulock is ready to play a full season in the NHL.
2015-09-09 update The Islanders have offered a contract to Zidlicky, according to the Islanders Point Blank.

2015-08-12 analysis This could seem to indicate that the Islanders feel top defensive prospect Ryan Pulock isn't quite ready to join the big club full time. Zidlicky could help on the power play if he signs, an area the Islanders struggled in at the end of last season.
2015-08-12 update There is mutual interest between the Islanders and Zidlicky, reports Newsday's Arthur Staple.
