A much calmer Adam Pelech than was on display Sunday said Tuesday morning that he considers the matter of Paul Cotter’s illegal check to his head to be over and done with.
Pelech, who left the 1-0 win over the Devils with a bloodied face, slamming his helmet down and screaming at Cotter, was cleared to return for the Islanders’ home finale Tuesday against the Capitals.
“I obviously wasn’t cleared to come back into [Sunday’s] game,” Pelech said before the 3-1 loss to the Capitals. “But I went through it all again yesterday, the concussion protocols, and I feel good. So we’re ready to go.”
