Kyle Palmieri expects to be fully healthy and ready for the 2026-27 season after recovering from a torn ACL.
"He cares a lot about the people around him and the veterans in our area. He's put a lot of effort into his foundation and it was really cool to go to his event and see the impact he's making first-hand."
The veteran New York Islanders winger tore the ACL in his left knee during New York's game against the Philadelphia Flyers, stuck with the play while limping to the bench, stole the puck from Flyers defenseman Emil Andrae, and helped set up a goal from Emil Heineman before departing the ice. Palmieri's incredibly gutsy play came with 14:38 remaining in the second period.
