Islanders Forward Kyle Palmieri Out Six-to-Eight Months with Knee Injury
Kyle Palmieri, tied for second on the Islanders with 18 points this season, suffered the injury after a collision with Flyers defenseman Jamie Drysdale.
- The Islanders confirmed Saturday that forward Kyle Palmieri suffered a torn ACL and will be out for six to eight months after an injury Friday.
- During a board battle, Palmieri got tangled with Jamie Drysdale, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman, while battling for a puck, causing an awkward fall along the boards that raised immediate concern.
- Despite the injury, Palmieri stole the puck from Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae, passed to Jonathan Drouin, who set up Emil Heineman for a goal, and trainers helped him to the locker room as he earned an assist.
- Losing Palmieri deprives the Islanders of a top scorer tied for second with 18 points in 25 games, and coach Patrick Roy said 'it did not look good' after Palmieri’s injury halted his 223 consecutive games streak.
- Imaging scheduled Saturday will determine Palmieri's status as he plays his 16th NHL season on the first year of a two-year, $9.5 million contract, holding career totals of 276 goals and 545 points.
