Based off a tweet from Matt Saidman of LIB Magazine, it appears as though Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky has been cleared for off ice workouts.  This is the first real positive development for Visnovsky who has been working to come back from a concussion sustained against the Carolina Hurricanes in a game October 19th.

Don't get your hopes up to quick though because in a follow up tweet Saidman says that there is still a long way to go before he is back.

Getting Visnovsky back down the stretch  which is the best case scenario in my mind as of now would be huge for the team as they push for a second consecutive playoff birth.
