Enjoying top-line life Pageau scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Pageau has three goals over four contests in November, which corresponds to when he replaced Mathew Barzal (upper body) on the top line. Pageau's 17:12 of ice time Thursday was his lowest total in a game since his promotion. The 31-year-old has four goals, two assists, 29 shots on net, 30 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 14 contests. He's worth a look in fantasy for points, shots and hits as long as he's in the top six, which could be a while since both Barzal and Anthony Duclair (leg) are on long-term injured reserve with absences expected to last into December.

The 31-year-old Pageau has a total of three points, 13 shots on net, 14 hits and a minus-2 rating over seven contests.

Strikes for shorthanded goal Pageau scored a shorthanded goal in Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to Utah.

Impact Pageau was able to put the Islanders ahead briefly with a third-period tally on a rebound from a Simon Holmstrom shot. Pageau has scored at least one shorthanded goal in six straight seasons, and he has 21 such tallies in his career. The defensive center's production took a step back with 33 points in 82 regular-season games last year, but with the Islanders looking to produce more offense in 2024-25, a rising tide may lift all ships. Pageau is also a steady source of hits and could feature on the second power-play unit throughout the year.

Good to go Monday Pageau (lower body) is expected to suit up for Game 2 against the Hurricanes on Monday, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pageau was banged up and couldn't suit up for Game 1 but he'll limit that absence to just one game. The veteran forward tallied 11 goals and 33 points while dressing in all 82 games during the regular season. He was held to three points over his final 10 appearances.

Could be back for Game 2 Pageau (lower body) could be a game-time decision for Game 2 against Carolina on Monday, Sean Roarke of NHL.com reports.

Impact Pageau missed Game 1 after suffering a lower-body injury early in the Islanders' regular-season finale against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The 31-year-old forward had 11 goals and 33 points this season in a middle-six role. If Pageau ultimately can't suit up, Simon Holmstrom would likely remain in the lineup.

Unavailable for Game 1 Pageau (lower body) won't play in Game 1 against Carolina on Saturday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.

Impact Pageau will miss at least one contest after getting hurt in the Islanders' regular-season finale against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. He notched 11 goals and 33 points in 82 games during the 2023-24 campaign. Pageau will be replaced by Simon Holmstrom in Saturday's lineup.

Questionable for Game 1 Pageau's (lower body) status for Game 1 versus Carolina on Saturday is questionable, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

Impact Pageau was injured in the first period Wednesday and did not return. He finished the season with 33 points in 82 games. Should Pageau be unable to go, look for Simon Holmstrom to enter the lineup on the fourth line.

Exits Wednesday's game Pageau (undisclosed) exited Wednesday's game versus the Penguins after sustaining an injury in the first period, Stefen Rosner of NHL.com reports.

Two points including GWG Pageau scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Panthers.

Impact The 31-year-old center jumped on a loose puck and slid it past Anthony Stolarz midway through the second period, giving the Isles their first and only lead of the game. Pageau's last multi-point performance came March 2, and on the season he's produced 10 goals and 30 points in 72 contests. He's also tied his career high with 175 hits, and his 72 blocked shots has him seven back of matching his personal best in that category as well.

Garners assist in win Pageau notched an assist and two hits in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Impact Pageau set up Noah Dobson's goal 19 seconds into the game. With a goal and three assists over three games in March, it's already been a more productive month for Pageau than February was -- he had just two points over 10 outings last month. The 31-year-old center is up to 26 points, 76 shots on net, 156 hits, 58 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 62 appearances. He should continue to log middle-six minutes as a strong defensive center.

Surfaces with two helpers Pageau earned two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Bruins.

Impact The helpers are nice and all, but Pageau still only has 24 points through 60 games as a middle-six contributor with a role on the secondary man-advantage unit. It doesn't help that in this campaign, he's averaging only 1.22 shots per game compared to a 1.76 rate between eight years with the Senators and five years running for the Isles. Pageau does have a goal and five assists shorthanded in 2023-24, but it comes at the expense of a single power-play point. All told, Pageau is best viewed as an option in deep leagues.

Deals assist in win Pageau recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Lightning.

The 31-year-old has managed 21 points, 63 shots on net, 109 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 51 outings, seeing time in all situations.

Impact Pageau got a piece of a Noah Dobson shot and tipped in the Islanders' lone goal with eight minutes left in the third period.

The center has moved down to the fourth line in recent contests with Casey Cizikas (lower body) out. Pageau has been less effective than usual with five goals, 18 points, 52 shots on net, 87 hits and 43 blocked shots through 42 appearances this season.
