Palmieri has yet to score a goal this season but coach Barry Trotz stated Sunday that he is not concerned, Neil Best of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri signed a four-year $20 million contract with the Islanders during the offseason, but that seems to be off his playoff performance when he had seven goals in 19 games. Palmieri only had two goals in 17 games before the playoffs for the Isles last season and now has been shutout out in the first 10 games of this season. Trotz believes Palmieri is playing well and getting chances, and that's it's just a matter of time until those chances start hitting paydirt.

Palmieri logged an assist, two hits and two PIM in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri had the secondary assist on Anthony Beauvillier's third-period insurance tally. The helper was Palmieri's first point since his two assists in the season opener against the Hurricanes last week. The winger has added 12 shots on net, five hits and a plus-3 rating through five contests overall.

Palmieri had two assists and four shots in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran right winger set up even-strength goals by Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee, displaying good chemistry on New York's top line that combined for four points and eight shots. Palmieri struggled offensively after being acquired from New Jersey at last year's trade deadline, producing just two goals and two assists in 17 games, but he came alive in the playoffs and scored seven times in 19 contests.

Palmieri is expected to open the season on the first line for the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Barry Trotz stated Sunday that he expects Palmieri to play with Mathew Barzal and Anders Lee in the season opener on October 14 in Carolina. The Islanders hope that Palmieri will continue to score the big goals for them as he did in the playoffs and not be the bust he was during the regular season. If Palmieri were to get off to a slow start, don't be surprised if Trotz plays musical lines, something he seems to enjoy doing.

Palmieri signed a four-year, $20 million deal with the Islanders on Wednesday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

After long stints in Anaheim and New Jersey, Palmieri was shipped last season to Long Island, where he featured in 17 regular-season contests. He managed just four points while averaging 14:10 of ice time but was better in the postseason, putting up seven goals and nine points in 19 games. Based on the $5 million annual salary, clearly GM Lou Lamoriello believes Palmieri is still capable of finding twine at a rate resembling the one that saw him score 132 goals from 2015-19.

Palmieri stated Sunday that he wouldn't mind signing with the Islanders this offseason, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri didn't do much during the regular season for the Islanders after acquiring him from the Devils at the trade deadline. Still, his seven goals in 19 playoff games likely make him one of the top targets available once free agency begins. Palmieri is coming off a five-year $23.5 million contract with the Devils, and if he commands anywhere near that much this summer, it likely won't be from the Islanders.

Palmieri scored a goal on three shots and added a pair of hits Wednesday in a 6-2 win over the Bruins in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri found the back of the net for the third consecutive game, creating a turnover on the doorstep and stuffing it past Boston netminder Tuukka Rask to extend New York's lead to 4-1. The trade deadline acquisition from New Jersey leads the Islanders with seven goals in 12 playoff games and owns a plus-6 rating.

Palmieri scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 5-4 victory over the Bruins in Game 5. He added two shots, two hits and two blocks.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri found an errant pass at the side of the Boston crease and deposited it into a wide-open net, giving the Islanders a 2-1 edge just under five minutes into the second period. It was Palmieri's team-leading sixth goal of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, a total topped only by Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon (eight), Tampa Bay's Brayden Point (seven) and Boston's David Pastrnak (seven). Palmieri found the back of the net just twice in 17 regular-season games after being acquired from New Jersey at the trade deadline, but he's rediscovered his scoring touch when it matters most. He'll take a four-game point streak (three goals, two assists) into Game 6 on Wednesday.

Palmieri scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Bruins in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri tied the game at 1-1 at 6:38 of the second period. His goal was the first of four unanswered for the Islanders as they rallied to tie the series at two games apiece. In four second-round games, Palmieri has two goals and two helpers. He's up to seven points, 19 shots on net, a plus-5 rating and 20 hits through 10 playoff contests.

Palmieri scored a goal on three shots, dished a power-play assist and added three hits in Monday's 4-3 overtime win over the Bruins in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri set up Josh Bailey's game-tying goal at 6:52 of the second period before scoring one of his own four minutes later. The 30-year-old Palmieri had a lackluster regular season with 21 points in 51 contests, including just four points in 17 games after he was traded to the Islanders. He's picked up the pace in the playoffs with four goals, one assist, 15 shots on net and 16 hits through eight appearances.
