Jean-Gabriel Pageau is back in for Islanders after missing Game One against the Hurricanes with a lower-body injury.
RALEIGH -- The New York Islanders were without forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau for Game One of their series against the Carolina Hurricanes, a 3-1 loss on Monday night.
However, he won't miss Game Two as he's back in the lineup and will skate alongside Anders Lee and Pierre Engvall in his usual spot:
Pageau suffered a lower-body injury against the Pittsburgh Penguins early in the first period of Game 82 after getting tangled up with Pittsburgh forward Reilly Smith in front of their goal.
Playing in all 82 games this season, Pageau scored 11 goals with 22 assists, winning 55.4 percent of his face-offs.
