Uniondale, NY (Sports Network) - New York Islanders head coach Jack
Capuano will be ready to return to the bench after undergoing surgery to treat
a kidney stone.
In a release on Sunday, the club said that Capuano had the procedure on
Saturday night and was released on Sunday morning. He is expected to return to
his post for Monday afternoon's contest at Nassau Coliseum with the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
Capuano was a late scratch due to what was termed "medical reasons" just
minutes before his club's season and home opener against the New Jersey
Devils. Assistants Doug Weight and Brent Thompson ran things in a 2-1 loss.
