Pageau (undisclosed) is slated to play in Thursday's Game 3 clash with the Lightning, Tom Gulitti of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 14 postseason contests, Pageau has garnered three goals and 10 helpers, including two power-play points but it seems clear he is playing through an injury at this point, which could slow his offensive production. As such, fantasy players may want to look for alternative options among the Islanders' forward complement, including linemate Kyle Palmieri.

Pageau scored a power-play goal on five shots, dished an assist and added five hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 2.
EDGE Analysis
Pageau played a large role in the Islanders' gaining momentum during the second period of Monday's contest. The 28-year-old center has racked up nine points, 20 shots on goal, 35 hits and a plus-6 rating through eight playoff contests. Just two of his nine points have come with the man advantage, but his usage on the top power-play unit should keep him involved on offense.

Pageau (undisclosed) didn't play in the Islanders' 4-2 loss to the Sabres on Monday, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders didn't announce the exact nature of the injury, but Pageau did miss a good chunk of the third period Saturday after a hard hit. However, the Islanders have clinched a playoff spot, so there is no reason for the team to rush him back. Pageau will next have a chance to play Tuesday, as the Islanders and Sabres will play each other once again.
