PITTSBURGH – Jean-Gabriel Pageau proved his playoff worth to the Islanders in his first postseason go-round with his new team.
The former Senator picked up where he left off with a goal and two assists in the Islanders’ 4-3 overtime win over the Penguins in Game 1 of their first-round series on Sunday afternoon at PPG Paints Arena.
"He played an awesome game," said linemate Kyle Palmieri. "He was a sparkplug for us all night."
Pageau tied the game at 2 with a blistering shot from the left that beat Tristan Jarry over his glove at 3:33 of the third period.
