Palmieri (undisclosed) won't be re-evaluated until after the Islanders' preseason games Tuesday against the Rangers and Wednesday versus Philadelphia, coach Lane Lambert told Andrew Gross of Newsday on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

There is no timetable for Palmieri's return, but it seems he won't get into a preseason contest until Friday versus the Rangers at the earliest. Palmieri recorded 16 goals and 33 points in 55 appearances last season.

Palmieri (undisclosed) didn't take part in Friday's practice, per Andrew Gross of Newsday.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri has been skating on his own, but it's not clear when he'll practice with the Islanders. He had 16 goals and 33 points in 55 outings in 2022-23. Provided he's healthy, Palmieri is projected to open the season in a top-six capacity.

Palmieri scored the game-winning goal on the power play and added an even-strength assist Friday in a 5-1 victory over the Hurricanes during Game 3 of the Islanders' first-round series.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period as the Isles broke open a 1-1 tie and set a record for the fastest four goals in playoff history. Palmieri now has back-to-back two-point efforts, giving him significant momentum heading into Game 4 on Sunday as his team looks to even the series.

Palmieri contributed a goal and an assist in the Islanders' 4-3 overtime loss to Carolina in Game 2 on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri bounced back after he was held off the scoresheet in the Islanders' 2-1 loss to Carolina in Game 1 on Monday. During the regular season, he had 16 goals and 33 points in 55 contests. The 37-year-old was a solid secondary scorer during the Islanders' 2021 playoff run, providing seven goals and nine points in 19 outings, and he should serve a similar function this time around.

Palmieri netted two goals and recorded an assist in the Islanders' 5-1 victory over New Jersey on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

It was Palmieri's third multi-point game in the span of six contests. That's pushed him up to 15 goals and 31 points in 48 games this season. Palmieri was vital to Monday's victory, providing the primary assist on Pierre Engvall's first-period marker, and then scoring the Islanders' next two goals. The only tallies Palmieri wasn't involved in were New York's two empty-netters.

Palmieri scored a goal and added an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime loss to Columbus.

EDGE Analysis

He set up Brock Nelson in the second period before finding the back of the net himself in the third. Palmieri has caught fire over the last week-plus, racking up three goals and seven points in the last four games, but on the season the 32-year-old had a less impressive 13 goals and 28 points through 46 contests.

Palmieri scored a goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri didn't repeat his four-point effort from Wednesday, but he was able to score in consecutive games for the first time since early November. The winger is up to 26 points, 93 shots, 65 hits and a plus-10 rating through 44 outings this season. He's looked comfortable on the second line with Pierre Engvall and Brock Nelson recent contests.

Palmieri scored a goal on two shots, distributed three assists, went plus-4 and added two PIM in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Ducks.

EDGE Analysis

The second line was humming for the Islanders. Palmieri got them on the board in the first period, then helped out on both of Brock Nelson's goals and a tally from Pierre Engvall over the final 40 minutes. The four points were a single-game career high for Palmieri, who began his career with the Ducks in 2010-11. He's up to 11 tallies, 14 assists, 92 shots on net, 65 hits and a plus-9 rating through 43 appearances this season.

Palmieri scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The Islanders erased a 1-0 deficit by scoring four unanswered goals in the third period, and Palmieri had a big role in the comeback victory. He snapped a five-game point drought with the performance while posting his first multi-point performance since Jan. 27 -- coincidentally enough, it also came against the Red Wings -- and on the season the veteran winger has 10 goals and 20 points through 38 contests.

Palmieri failed to register a point in the 2-1 shootout loss to the Wild on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Palmieri has had a disappointing season for the team, as he only has nine goals and 18 points in 36 games. This is not what the Isles need from a forward making $5 million a season. The Islanders as a team are an aging forward group, and Palmieri just turned 32 years old. He has only scored 34 goals over his last 156 games. The team may be looking in the wrong direction if they expect Palmieri's career path to change course suddenly.
