Cal Clutterbuck will be a game-time decision for Game 3 in Raleigh, Islanders coach Barry Trotz said Wednesday morning.

The right wing will warm up with the team before the start of the game to determine whether he can go. 

According to the New York Post, Clutterbuck was on the ice Wednesday morning with the extras. Michael Dal Colle, who'd likely replace Clutterbuck if the veteran can't play, was also on the ice.

Clutterbuck needed some assistance getting off the ice at the end of Game 2 on Sunday.

If Clutterbuck doesn't play and Dal Colle dresses, Dal Colle probably would play on the second line with Josh Bailey and Brock Nelson, while Tom Kuhnhackl would drop down into Clutterbuck's spot on a line with Matt Martin and Casey Cizikas.
