Islanders Pick Up Kyle Palmieri And Travis Zajac In Trade
4 years agoThe New York Islanders made a big move on Wednesday by acquiring forwards Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac from New Jersey. Forwards A.J. Greer and Mason Jobst headed in the opposite direction, along with a first round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft and a conditional fourth round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft. The Islanders, who are tied for the top spot in the East Division with Washington, lost Anders Lee (knee) for the season last month and needed to make a move to shore up their offense. Zajac is a very experienced center who's put up 18 points in 33 games this season and Palmieri is a winger who boasts 17 points for the year in 34 outings. The latter looks set for a much more productive finish to the season following the trade. Greer and Jobst are both AHLers who are irrelevant in fantasy hockey.

Kyle Palmieri Returns To Action
1 year agoNew York Islanders right wing Kyle Palmieri (undisclosed) returned to the lineup as the team finished its preseason slate with a 3-0 defeat against New Jersey on Friday. The 32-year-old logged 14:12 of action, firing two shots on goal and recording two penalty minutes with one hit and a minus-one rating. A mysterious injury cloud has accompanied Palmieri throughout training camp, but he was finally able to join his teammates in practice earlier in the week and was also thrown quickly into action. Having Palmieri available for the start of the season is big news for the Islanders. The New York native averaged the fourth-most points among Islanders forwards last term, scoring 16 goals and registering 17 assists in 55 appearances.

Kyle Palmieri Has Started Skating But Remains Absent For Islanders
1 year agoNew York Islanders right wing Kyle Palmieri (undisclosed) has started skating again, but it's still unclear when he can start practicing again. The 32-year-old suffered an unspecified injury during pre-training camp workouts. Palmieri has averaged 0.5 points per game for the Islanders across two and a half seasons, and he would certainly be missed if he can't start the season with the team. The season opener is scheduled for the Islanders against Buffalo on Oct. 14. Hudson Fasching has been skating in Palmieri's spot on the second line in training camp.

Kyle Palmieri Set For Re-Evaluation This Week
1 year agoNew York Islanders right wing Kyle Palmieri (undisclosed) will undergo re-evaluation following the team's first preseason games. The Islanders will play the Rangers on Tuesday and clash with the Flyers on Wednesday. Palmieri has been skating on his own at the start of training camp due to an unspecified injury. Injuries have unfortunately accompanied Palmieri throughout his career. He hasn't hit 80 games in six seasons and was limited to 55 outings last term. The 32-year-old remains a capable player, though, and should fill a top-six role once he's healthy again.
