Jean-Gabriel Pageau - 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.
