Palmieri Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury, Placed on IR

New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri (knee) has been placed on injured reserve as of Sunday. The team confirmed Saturday that the 34-year-old is slated to undergo season-ending knee surgery, which carries an estimated recovery timeline of 6-8 months. Palmieri sustained the significant injury during Friday's 4-3 shootout loss against Philadelphia. To fill the roster spot, the Islanders have called up Marc Gatcomb from their AHL affiliate, Bridgeport, on Sunday.
