The New York Islanders are still holding out for another postseason berth. However, based on how this season has gone, it might be a long shot. Still, Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello is holding on to his cards.

The Islanders made a big signing on Friday, picking up defenseman Tony DeAngelo, who was in the KHL after going unsigned this summer.

While adding a player like Palmieri could address immediate needs, it won’t be simple for the Kings. Right now, Los Angeles has $10.9 million in cap space. Once Drew Doughty is activated from LTIR, however, that space will evaporate as Doughty carries a cap hit of $11 million.

MacKinnon leads the NHL in points (77) and assists (58). Among NHL defensemen, Makar is first in goals (18), tied for first in points (56) and being for second in assists (38). Necas is seventh in the NHL in assists (41).

The Colorado Avalanche are wrapping up their New York road trip with a matchup against the New York Islanders on Jan. 28, a game where the two teams made plenty of headlines off the ice.
