Pageau is dealing with a lower-body injury and will be sidelined against the Kings on Thursday.
Pageau was labeled as day-to-day by the Islanders, so he shouldn't be expected to be out of action long term. Through 17 games this season, the veteran center has notched one goal, seven helpers and 22 shots while averaging 15:48 of ice time. In order to fill out the roster, Matias Maccelli (lower body) was activated off injured reserve and will face Los Angeles.
