Anders Lee and Jean-Gabriel Pageau were among the 54 players on the ice Thursday for the first practices of Islanders’ training camp at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow.
More importantly, neither had any limitations as they recover from surgeries.
"It felt really good to be on the ice with the boys, a good Day 1 of camp," said Lee, who suffered a season-ending torn right anterior cruciate ligament on March 11. "We’re just taking it day by day. The restrictions are off, everything’s good."
Matt Martin, who had offseason surgery to remove a bone chip in his ankle, did not participate on Thursday.
