Kyle Palmieri Out for 6-8 Months With Torn ACL
New York Islanders right wing Kyle Palmieri will miss 6-8 months after tearing the ACL in his left knee, the team announced Saturday. The veteran forward was injured in Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. It's a bitter blow for the player and his team, as Palmieri has been among the Islanders' top scorers this season. He has posted 18 points (six goals, 12 assists) in 25 games. The knee injury will end Palmieri's impressive streak of 223 consecutive appearances. Maxim Shabanov is expected to take Palmieri's spot on the first line on Sunday against the Washington Capitals. The 25-year-old rookie receives a great opportunity to make an impression. So far, Shabanov has been quiet in the NHL, recording seven points (three goals, four assists) in 13 games.
