Jean-Gabriel Pageau will be available to play on Tuesday night when the Islanders conclude a three-game road trip against the Capitals, a day after the versatile center came off the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol list.
The Islanders still wereawaiting word on defenseman Noah Dobson’s status. Both players missed Sunday’s 3-2 four-round shootout win over the Devils at Prudential Center after being added to the league’s protocol list that day. It marked the first time this season the Islanders have had players miss a game because of COVID protocols.
Dobson remained on the NHL’s protocol list on Monday while Pageau was cleared.
