Islanders Bet on Injury Returns | New York Islanders News

The New York Islanders are betting big on their injured players returning to form—calling it “like a new signing”—as they skip expensive free agent signings. With captain Anders Lee gone, stars Kyle Palmieri (ACL) and Alexander Romanov (collarbone) are expected to lead the charge after missing significant time last season. Veteran goalie Semyon Varlamov, 38, is also back from knee surgery, and Pierre Engvall, sidelined all last year with hip and ankle issues, is ready to play. It’s a high-risk gamble, but if these players regain peak form, they could propel the Islanders into playoff contention.
