Kyle Palmieri scored his 30th goal of the season for the Islanders, tying his career-high with a power play goal in the second period. Jean-Gabriel Pageau left the game early in the first period and did not return. The Islanders tied the game 3-3 but Pageau did not play in the third period. Palmieri's goal counted despite no missed stoppage. Pageau is day-to-day with a lower-body injury, missing Game 1 of the playoffs against the Hurricanes.
JG Pageau back centering Islanders’ third line at morning skate. Looks good to go.
Pageau looking good at morning skate. #isles @NHL https://t.co/69rmNHh8vZ

'There's A Good Chance' Pageau Returns To Islanders Lineup For Game Two Of Playoffs, Who Comes Out? #Isles @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/by4n1gXstz
#Isles will hit the ice later this morning before Game 2 tonight at 7:30 PM. Expectation is that Pageau will be out there.
Roy says there’s a good chance that Pageau will play in Game 2. Still day to day but there’s been improvement. #Isles
#Isles PP can't tie the game. And now Palmieri goes to the penalty box for slashing with 6:32 to play in the third. NYI down 2-1. Not the time for a penalty.
Palmieri can't sweep a rebound past Andersen, missing the net on an #Isles PP, then Palmieri takes a slashing minor as the PP ends. 6:32 to go.
Andersen stops a Palmieri 2-on-1 chance. #Isles

#Isles will start their playoffs without Jean-Gabriel Pageau @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/x0KiWjj81j
Jean-Gabriel Pageau IS NOT on the ice for warmups. #Isles
#Isles Kyle Palmieri, who finished his season on a six-game point streak with six goals and four assists, had points in the final three matchups against #CauseChaos this season with two goals and two assists. Had two goals and three assists in first round last season.
Roy: Game time decision on Pageau. Will see after warmups. #Isles
Pageau is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. Nothing to report regarding his availability for Game 1. #Isles
But not seeing J-G Pageau at #Isles practice.
#Isles Kyle Palmieri enters the playoffs on a seven-game point streak (6G, 4A) and finished the year with 10 GWGs. "It's Incredible the way he's been playing for us [...] He's been a real force for us and has been a great leader for us." https://t.co/1r4pnW7Tql
#Isles Kyle Palmieri on matching career high with 30 goals: “It’s nice to hit that number but, at the end of the day, it’s a number. Right now, our focus is on the next task and that’s Carolina.”
No update on Pageau, who left the game with 9:18 to play in the first and did not return. #Isles
Palmieri out there looking to set a new career-high in goals. Tied it with his 30th earlier in the game. #Isles
Back for the third. 3-3 is the score. No Pageau still for #Isles. Safe to say his night is done.
#Isles forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau left the game with 9:18 to play in the first and did not return in their final game before the start of the playoffs @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/AFIo6bkE4s
With Palmieri scoring, #Isles now have three players with over 30 goals and three over 20 goals.
30 goals for Kyle Palmieri is really impressive for a guy who I re-remember is still in the league every time I watch an Islanders game
No missed stoppage. Palmieri's goal counts. #Isles are going back on the PP. 3-3. 15.5 to play in the second.
Palmieri. 30th goal of the season via a PP one-timer with 15.5 seconds to play in the second. Ties a career-high. Spoke to him today about playing in all 82 and producing. Will have that tomorrow for ya over @TheHockeyNews #Isles
Apologies, but Pageau's last shift came with 9:18 to play in the first. So he's been missing for a bit. #Isles
