Pageau scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old center jumped on a loose puck and slid it past Anthony Stolarz midway through the second period, giving the Isles their first and only lead of the game. Pageau's last multi-point performance came March 2, and on the season he's produced 10 goals and 30 points in 72 contests. He's also tied his career high with 175 hits, and his 72 blocked shots has him seven back of matching his personal best in that category as well.

Pageau notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau set up Noah Dobson's goal 19 seconds into the game. With a goal and three assists over three games in March, it's already been a more productive month for Pageau than February was -- he had just two points over 10 outings last month. The 31-year-old center is up to 26 points, 76 shots on net, 156 hits, 58 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 62 appearances. He should continue to log middle-six minutes as a strong defensive center.

Pageau earned two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
The helpers are nice and all, but Pageau still has only 24 points through 60 games as a middle-six contributor with a role on the secondary man-advantage unit. It doesn't help that in this campaign, he's averaging only 1.22 shots per game compared to a 1.76 rate between eight years with the Senators and five years running for the Isles. Pageau does have a goal and five assists shorthanded in 2023-24, but it comes at the expense of a single power-play point. All told, Pageau is best viewed as an option in deep leagues.

EDGE Analysis
Pageau has three points over his last five games, an improvement compared to a stretch in which he had one goal across 11 outings. The center set up Noah Dobson's opening tally in the first period. Pageau remains on the third line with the Islanders' forward group at nearly full health. The 31-year-old has managed 21 points, 63 shots on net, 109 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 51 outings, seeing time in all situations.

Pageau scored a goal and added six hits in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau got a piece of a Noah Dobson shot and tipped in the Islanders' lone goal with eight minutes left in the third period. The tally snapped a six-game slump for Pageau since his four-point eruption versus the Capitals on Dec. 29. The center has moved down to the fourth line in recent contests with Casey Cizikas (lower body) out. Pageau has been less effective than usual with five goals, 18 points, 52 shots on net, 87 hits and 43 blocked shots through 42 appearances this season.

Pageau recorded two goals and two assists in Friday's 5-1 victory over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
After opening the scoring in the second period, Pageau picked up three points in the final frame, setting up a pair of Julien Gauthier goals before extending the Islanders' lead to 5-0 with a second tally, doubling his season total. The 31-year-old Pageau had gone eight games without a goal prior to Thursday's contest, recording just three assists in that span. He's up to four goals and 17 points through 35 games in a middle-six role this year.

Pageau scored a goal in overtime in a 3-2 win over the Kings on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
He slid a backhand five-hole on Cam Talbot just 13 seconds into overtime to lift the Isles to victory. It was Pageau's first overtime goal since Nov. 7, 2019, when he played for the Senators. His 10 points, including two goals, in 26 games don't make him much of a fantasy force, but we all love a good narrative.

It was the first power-play point of the season for Pageau. After a slow start to the campaign, the veteran center appears to be discovering his offensive game, having notched four points in his last six contests, including his first goal of the year.
