Jean-Gabriel Pageau is week-to-week with an upper-body injury, the New York Islanders announced on Sunday. It is unclear when Pageau suffered the injury, as the center played the full game in the Isles' 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. In that matchup, which marked the Islanders' return home, Pageau logged 19 shifts for 15:58 of time on ice (TOI), blocking one shot and laying one hit.
Pageau has been a key contributor this season, recording six goals and six assists through 22 games. He boasts a 59.5 faceoff win percentage and averages 15:24 TOI per game.
To adjust for Pageau's absence, Max Tsyplakov was brought back into the lineup for Sunday's game against the Seattle Kraken. The second-year forward has tallied one goal in 13 games played for the Islanders this season.
