Palmieri scored the game's only goal with 4:37 left in regulation in Sunday's 1-0 win over Boston. He finished with three shots and one hit.
EDGE Analysis
Pavel Zacha's rebound attempt went off of Palmieri, who had crashed the crease and occupied multiple Boston defenders. It was Palmieri's first goal since Feb. 20, ending his goal-scoring dry spell at eight games. The 29-year-old racked up 24-plus goals in each of the previous five years, but his production has dropped to just four tallies in 20 contests in 2020-21.

Palmieri picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran winger continues to put his sluggish start to the season behind him. Since the Devils resumed play following their COVID-19 hiatus, Palmieri has found the scoresheet in all four games, racking up three goals and six points while showing great chemistry with linemates Jack Hughes and Andreas Johnsson.

Palmieri scored two goals -- one shorthanded -- in Thursday's 3-2 win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
The five-time 24-goal scorer finally got the monkey off his back, potting his first goals of the season in his 10th game. Palmieri usually contributes on the other special teams unit, with 59 career power-play goals, but he scored his second career shorthanded goal for his second marker of the second period to hand New Jersey a 2-0 lead. Now that he has seen the puck cross the goal line, expect Palmieri to start marking the scoresheet with greater regularity.

Palmieri was activated from the NHL's COVID-19 protocol Saturday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri is back on the active roster, but 13 of the Devils' players remain in the league's protocol. Nevertheless, they're scheduled to return Tuesday against the Rangers. Palmieri should be ready to re-enter the lineup if the game remains on as planned. He dished out three assists and 13 hits through eight games before landing in protocol.

Palmieri was added back to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Thursday, Conor Ryan of MassLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri returns to the list just one day after being removed from it. The Devils currently have 18 players in the NHL's COVID-19 protocols, so at this point a return to play Tuesday against the Rangers seems unlikely.

Palmieri was activated from the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Wednesday, Corey Masisak of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Palmieri's been cleared, the Devils still have 17 players in the league's COVID-19 protocols, so at this point there's no telling when they'll be able to resume play. Palmieri has picked up three helpers through eight games this campaign.

Palmieri won't play in Sunday's game against the Sabres because of COVID-19 protocol.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri joins four teammates in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. The 29-year-old likely will miss a few games as a result, and the team should provide an update on Palmieri's status soon.

Palmieri (undisclosed) won't play in Sunday's game against the Sabres, Jourdon LaBarber of Sabres.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri played in Saturday's loss to the Sabres, recording 18:23 of ice time and firing two shots on net. It's unclear why he's unavailable Sunday. Nevertheless, Mikhail Maltsev and Jesper Boqvist were promoted from the taxi squad and are expected to enter the lineup.

Palmieri had six shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to Philadelphia but still has no goals through seven games.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri is starting to generate chances at a higher clip, so it's only a matter of time until the skilled winger finally breaks through. After totaling only five shots in New Jersey's first four games, Palmieri has fired 14 pucks on net over the last three. This could be a nice buy-low opportunity considering Palmieri has scored at least 24 goals in each of the previous five seasons.

Palmieri had an assist and three shots in Saturday's 2-1 overtime win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Palmieri was much more engaged in this one after a quiet season debut in which he mustered just one shot. The skilled winger brought a physical edge, leading the team with five hits while also picking up a minor penalty. He's expected to lead the Devils in goals this year after scoring between 24 and 30 in each of his five previous seasons with the team.
