Matias Maccelli Returns to Islanders Lineup After Lower-Body Injury

Matias Maccelli returned to the New York Islanders' lineup during Thursday's 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings after missing 3 ½ weeks due to a lower-body injury. Maccelli skated on the fourth line alongside Mitchell Chaffee as part of an effort to ease him back into action following his extended absence. Before the injury, Maccelli recorded six points in eight games. He noted he is focused on getting his legs back under him and regaining his prior high level of play.
