Pageau is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't play Tuesday against Ottawa.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders will have Casey Cizikas (illness) and Otto Koivula, who was called up from AHL Bridgeport on Monday, in the lineup Tuesday. Pageau has registered 10 goals, 29 points, 97 shots on net and 142 hits in 56 games this season.

Pageau recorded two assists in the Islanders' 4-0 victory over Seattle on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau has 10 goals and 29 points in 54 contests in 2022-23. He was held off the scoresheet in his previous seven games. Pageau also recorded a hit and a blocked shot Tuesday, bringing his season totals up to 141 and 47 respectively.

Pageau hasn't lit the lamp in his last 13 games.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau might be the definition of a player who parlayed a career season into a big contract. He had 26 goals during the 2019-20 campaign but hasn't scored more than 18 goals in any season since. It would seem that Pageau will remain at center as he is top five in the NHL in faceoff win percentage (Horvat is also top five). This would make one believe that either Mathew Barzal or Brock Nelson will be moved to the wing when the Islanders next play Monday versus the Flyers.

Pageau produced an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau is in a six-game goal drought, but he's managed three assists in that span. The 30-year-old center also failed to record a hit for the first time since Dec. 19. He's at 10 goals, 16 helpers, 81 shots on net, 125 hits, 39 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 45 contests overall.

Pageau notched an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau set up Zach Parise's goal in the first period. In the second, Pageau had a chance on a shorthanded rush, but Jacob Markstrom made the save. With three goals and three assists over his last seven contests, Pageau's offense is in good form. The 30-year-old center has 24 points (eight on the power play), 74 shots on net, 115 hits, 37 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 41 outings overall. He's on pace to top his career high of 43 points from 2015-16.

Pageau scored a pair of goals and added eight hits in Tuesday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau's first goal put the Islanders up 2-1 in the second period, and it came on a power play. He also added an empty-netter in the third, which was officially a shorthanded goal. The center has eight power-play points and a pair of shorthanded goals through 39 contests this season. He's at 23 points, 73 shots on net, 106 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating while playing big minutes compared to what would be expected of a third-liner. Tuesday was his third multi-point effort in the last eight games.

Pageau notched a goal and was credited with an assist during a 2-1 victory over the visiting Blue Jackets on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Breaking a scoreless tie by jamming in a second-period rebound, Pageau notched his first goal in 10 games and eighth of the season. The 30-year-old center also earned a secondary helper on Mathew Barzal's game-winning, power-play marker. Pageau, who added two shots and two hits Thursday, earned his fifth two-point game this season.

Pageau played in his 600th NHL game on Thursday versus the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The game Thursday was also the 165th for Pageau in an Islanders uniform. Pageau is having an underwhelming season with only seven goals, 11 assists, and a rating of minus-5 in 33 games. Pageau parlayed what is looking like a career season in 2019-20, when he had 26 goals, into a six-year $30 million contract with the Islanders. A contract that right at this moment, two-plus years in, the Islanders might be regretting.

Pageau collected two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau ended a three-game skid with helpers on goals by linemates Simon Holmstrom and Zach Parise in this contest. With four points in eight games in December, Pageau has returned to scoring more in line with his third-line role after a hot November. He's at seven tallies, 11 assists, 55 shots on net, 86 hits, 24 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 32 outings while seeing time in all situations.

Pageau scored a third-period goal during Tuesday's 7-4 loss to the visiting Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Pageau scored at 15:04 of the third period Tuesday, pulling the Islanders to within 5-4. The 30-year-old's seventh goal this season was his first in five games. Pageau, who recorded two shots, converted 21 seconds after Hudson Fasching's goal, but that was as close as Islanders would come. The third-line center recorded a minus-2 rating for the second time in three outings.
