Islanders' Kyle Palmieri Out with Torn ACL Since November 28

New York Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri has been sidelined since November 28 after sustaining a torn ACL during a 4-3 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. His significant absence has created a void in the team's offense, which Simon Holmstrom and Anthony Duclair have recently begun to fill. The Islanders have also been without Bo Horvat for an extended period, missing six straight games and 11 of the last 14.
