Reinforcements arrive as New York regains key playmakers for their clash in Los Angeles, though a fresh injury to Jean-Gabriel Pageau forces a critical lineup shuffle tonight.

Forward Matias Maccelli and defenseman Ryan Pulock will return to the New York Islanders lineup Thursday as they face the Los Angeles Kings. 

Jean-Gabriel Pageau will miss the game with a lower-body injury. 

Maccelli, who signed a one-year deal worth $2.25 million annually this summer, will return after missing nine straight games with a lower-body injury sustained in their 4-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Oct. 17. 

He has six points (two goals, four assists) in his first eight games with the Islanders.
