Palmieri scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, in Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over Pittsburgh in Game 1. He also had three shots and two hits.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri opened and closed the scoring in this one, breaking the ice 7:58 into the game with a top-shelf shot on a 2-on-2 rush, and then sniping one from the bottom of the right circle with 3:30 left in the first overtime period. Acquired from New Jersey in the days leading up to the trade deadline, Palmieri produced just two goals in 17 regular-season games with the Islanders. The 30-year-old produced five straight 20-goal campaigns prior to 2020-21 and a return to form would be a significant shot in the arm for the Isles' playoff hopes.

The focus for Palmieri is on this season for the Islanders and not what will happen in free agency, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders acquired Travis Zajac and Palmieri before the trade deadline, and both will be unrestricted free agents after the season. The 30-year-old Palmieri is finishing up a five-year, $23.25 million contract. It will be an interesting offseason once again for free agents, as the salary cap is expected to remain unchanged. Palmieri's struggles this season haven't helped. He has only nine goals in 43 games and just one since being acquired by the Isles.

Palmieri scored a goal on two shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri scored his first goal in three games as an Islander after he was traded from the Devils on Wednesday. The 30-year-old winger has nine goals, 18 points, 88 shots on net, 41 hits and a minus-4 rating through 37 games overall this year. He's played in a third-line role since joining the Islanders, which could depress his fantasy value.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri could play Thursday versus the Flyers, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri will participate in the morning skate with the Islanders on Thursday, and then coach Barry Trotz will decide whether or not he will insert Palmieri into the lineup. General manager Lou Lamoriello stated that Palmieri would not need to be quarantined after the trade because he came from New Jersey, which is nearby.

The Devils traded Palmieri and Travis Zajac to the Islanders on Wednesday for A.J. Greer, Mason Jobst, a 2021 first-round draft pick and a conditional 2022 fourth-round draft pick.
EDGE Analysis
The Islanders are tied for first in the East Division, and they're pushing their chips in as the playoffs approach, acquiring two veteran forwards. Palmieri scored at least 24 goals in each of the last five seasons, though he's off to a slower start with eight goals and nine assists this year. Once he clears the necessary COVID-19 protocols, he should slot into the top six along with power-play duties.

Palmieri (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's game against the Capitals for precautionary purposes, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear if Palmieri has an injury, as the Devils may be holding the pending free agent out in case a trade offer surfaces. The 30-year-old scored four goals over the last eight games. His next chance to play is Tuesday against the Sabres. The trade deadline is April 12.

Palmieri scored a goal on three shots Sunday in a 1-0 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri deflected a Ty Smith shot to break a scoreless deadlock with 3:23 left in the first period and New Jersey netminder MacKenzie Blackwood made the 1-0 lead stand the rest of the way. For Palmieri it was his seventh goal of the season and his third in the last six outings. The 29-year-old, who has 16 points in 32 games, has seen his shooting percentage go from a career-high 16.1 in 2019-20 to a career-low 8.8 this season.

Palmieri registered a power-play goal on two shots and had two PIM Tuesday in a 4-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri drilled a one-timer from the left dot to put New Jersey on top 2-1 with just six seconds left in the opening frame. It was Palmieri's second goal in the last three contests, and the 29-year-old has chipped in with points in five of his last seven. With just six tallies in 29 games on the year, Palmieri will almost certainly fall short of the 20-goal plateau for the first time since 2014-15.
