Pageau was a surprise scratch on Monday but will quickly re-enter the lineup. Pageau is the only one that head coach Barry Trotz would confirm is back in the lineup but he said a few players will rest and that he will get some other fresh bodies in the lineup, so the Islanders' lineup is a mystery.
Pageau was added to the COVID-19 protocol list prior to Sunday's game but was activated on Monday and will play Tuesday vs. Washington. Pageau, who has nine goals and eight assists (17 points) in 28 games this season, will be back in his usual spot on the third line.
The 2020 first-round pick is top-three protected, and the 2022 third-rounder is conditional on the Islanders winning the Stanley Cup this season. Pageau is in the midst of a career year, scoring 24 goals and adding 16 assists in 60 games this season. The 27-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free-agent on July 1.
Pageau missed the last two games before the All-Star break with a sore neck but head coach D.J. Smith expects him to play Monday vs. the Devils. Pageau has cooled off recently, scoring just one goal with one assist in his last seven games.
Pageau was a late-scratch on Thursday and will miss his second straight game with a sore neck on Saturday afternoon. Artem Anisimov will move up with Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Duclair while Pageau is out.
Pageau was a late-scratch from Thursday's lineup, did not practice on Friday and is listed as a game-time call for Saturday's afternoon game. With no morning skate, wait for an update a few hours before puck-drop or check on his status during warmups (3:30 pm ET).
Pageau has missed the first 41 games of the season but will return much earlier than expected. Pageau’s original timetable was late-February/early-March but will play Sunday vs. the Hurricanes. Pageau, who has 29 points (14G / 15A) in 78 games last year, will centre the third line with Zack Smith and Mikkel Boedker on his wings.
Pageau will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury and will miss the Senators’ next two games before the break. With Pageau out, Filip Chlapik will remain in the Senators lineup on Monday.
Pageau was injured in the Senators final game before their bye week and won’t play tonight vs. the Blues. Pageau took to the ice for Wednesday’s practice but wasn’t able to make it through the session. With Pageau as day-to-day, Filip Chlapik will be recalled from Belleville (AHL) to take his spot in the lineup.
Pageau, 22, scored 10 goals and nine assists (19 points) in 50 games in his second NHL season. During his time in Binghamton (AHL), he had 21 points (11G / 10A) in 27 games.
With Zack Smith out for multiple months, the Senators have recalled Pageau to fill in. Pageau, 22, had two goals in 28 games with the Senators last season. He had 18 points (8G / 10A) in 25 games with Binghamton before his recall.
Pageau, 21, has appeared in 21 games with Ottawa this season, registering two points (two goals) and 10 penalty minutes. In 44 AHL games this season, Pageau has recorded 17 goals and 24 assists for 41 points. He could get into the lineup tonight vs. Carolina because Colin Greening is battling an undisclosed injury.
Pageau has recorded two goals in 21 games for the Senators this season. His return to the minors suggests that Chris Neil is ready to return to the lineup after missing the last five games.
