Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Late scratch versus Washington
Rotowire
Pageau was a late scratch for Friday's game against Washington because of a lower-body injury, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports.

Islanders' Jean-Gabriel Pageau: Enjoying top-line life
Rotowire
Pageau scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Senators.
Pageau has three goals over four contests in November, which corresponds to when he replaced Mathew Barzal (upper body) on the top line.

He's worth a look in fantasy for points, shots and hits as long as he's in the top six, which could be a while since both Barzal and Anthony Duclair (leg) are on long-term injured reserve with absences expected to last into December.
