Palmieri scored three goals and added a helper in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the Bruins.
What a start to the game for Palmieri. He scored his third NHL hat trick in the first period and then added an assist on the Islanders' fourth goal of the contest in the second period. In addition to his four-point night, Palmieri added three shots and a plus-3 rating in only 15:27 of ice time. He has been a streaky player this season. He went five straight games without hitting the scoresheet before getting five points in his past two outings. He also had a six-game point spree prior to that slump. While Palmieri's performance is encouraging, it's important to manage expectations as he has not topped 50 points in a season since 2018-19.
