Pageau (lower body) is unavailable for Saturday's game versus the Sabres, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Pageau will miss a second straight game due to the injury. The 32-year-old's absence will be covered by defenseman Grant Hutton on Saturday, as the Islanders opt to play seven blueliners and 11 forwards. Simon Holmstrom figures to take on a larger role up front in Pageau's absence.
