Matt Martin News: Remains unsigned

Martin -- who continues to skate with the Islanders on a PTO -- will not be signed by the team even after Anthony Duclair (leg) suffered a long-term injury, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports Monday.

At this point, Martin will probably end up skating with the team all the way up to the trade deadline, which is the last point when a player can sign with a team and still be eligible for the postseason. Until he puts pen to paper on a full NHL contract, Martin will just be an extra body at practice and ineligible to play in a game.
