Palmieri will make his Islanders debut on Thursday.

Because Palmieri was able to drive from New Jersey after Wednesday's trade, quarantine is not required, so he'll immediately make his Islanders debut. It's unclear where he will play in his first game with his new team but you have to think the Islanders envision him as a replacement for Anders Lee on the top line and PP1.

Thompson will make his NHL debut on Tuesday.

Thompson was a fourth-round pick in 2019 and turned pro after his junior year at Providence College, where he had 11 goals and 14 assists (25 points) in 25 games. Tyce is the younger brother of Sabres' winger Tage Thompson and the two will get a chance to go head-to-head tonight in Tyce's NHL debut.

Horvat (lower-body) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.

Horvat left Monday's game vs. the Jets and will be a game-time decision for the rematch on Wednesday. Horvat participated in the Canucks' morning skate and head coach Travis Green called that a "good sign" but added that they'll "see if they're ready to go or not tonight."
