Two points in team debut Palat scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Impact Palat was traded to the Islanders from the Devils on Tuesday, and he's already made a big splash with his new team. The 34-year-old skated on the second line at even strength, though he was limited to a total of 11:53 of ice time. Palat's usage will be interesting to track, as he and Anders Lee figure to fill similar roles moving forward.

Why Islanders traded for Ondrej Palat, and what Devils got in return | Sporting News The deal went down as expected.

JANUARY 28 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Moving to division rival Palat, a third-round pick in 2026 and a sixth-round pick in 2027 were traded to the Islanders from the Devils on Tuesday in exchange for Maxim Tsyplakov.

Impact Palat has 10 points, 53 shots on net, 89 hits, 41 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 51 outings for the Devils. His role with the Islanders will be largely the same as a bottom-six forward who may see time on the penalty kill. Palat has one more year on his contract at a $6 million cap hit, and Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports there is no salary retention in this deal. The Islanders have brought in Palat and Carson Soucy as they gear up for a playoff run by adding veterans in key depth roles.

Held out Tuesday Palat won't play Tuesday versus the Jets on Tuesday for roster-related reasons, Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site reports.

Impact It's unclear if Palat is being held out for an impending trade or some other reason, but nonetheless, he won't suit up. The 34-year-old has just 10 points in 51 appearances this season, so his absence Tuesday and any subsequent change of scenery has virtually no impact on fantasy managers.

Good to go Palat (illness) will play against Calgary on Monday, according to Amanda Stein of the Devils' official site.

Impact After missing Saturday's 4-1 loss to Carolina, Palat will return to a top-six role versus the Flames on Monday. He has contributed four goals, 10 points, 51 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and 84 hits through 47 outings this campaign.

Unavailable Saturday Palat will miss Saturday's tilt versus Carolina with an illness.

Strikes twice in Monday's win Palat scored two goals in Monday's 5-2 win over the Wild.

Impact The veteran winger bookended a four-goal surge by the Devils that broke the game open after it was tied 1-1 late in the second period. Palat snapped a 19-game goal drought with the performance, a stretch in which he's eked out just three assists. On the season, he has only four goals and 10 points in 46 contests, putting him on pace for his least productive full season in the NHL.
