Zach Parise a likely candidate to play with Jean-Gabriel Pageau

Very little is ever set in stone on Day 2 of training camp. But there are indications of what may become reality. So, one strong possibility for the Islanders is Zach Parise skating on Jean-Gabriel Pageau’s wing.

The two have been together for the first two days of on-ice sessions at Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow and will likely be linemates to start the preseason. The first of the Islanders’ six preseason games is Sunday against the Rangers at Madison Square Garden.

"Intelligent, veteran players that play on both sides of the puck," coach Barry Trotz said on Friday.
