Isles declare DiPietro out with concussion

Moments ago, the Isles announced that Rick DiPietro did indeed suffer a concussion when he was injured in practice by a Brian Rolston shot.

According to the team, there is no timetable for his return. 

Unlike last season, the Isles do not play a single set of back-to-backs until Thanksgiving weekend so Al Montoya could be very busy.

The Isles are currently carrying 22 players on the active roster.
