.NYIslanders head coach Barry Trotz thinks defenceman Adam Pelech and forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau will have an impact during the best-of-five play-in series against the FlaPanthers.
The Islanders sent a 2020 conditional first-round pick, a 2020 second-round pick and a conditional third in 2022 to the Ottawa Senators ahead of the trade deadline in exchange for Pageau who then signed a six-year, $30-million contract extension to stay in Long Island.
Pageau only played seven games with the Islanders before the NHL suspended the season and Trotz thinks the time off plus training camp has helped the centre get more acclimatized to his new team and system. Pageau’s most recent playoff appearance was in 2017 when he scored eight goals, 10 points and won 54.3 per cent of his faceoffs in 19 games with the Sens.
