3 Keys: Islanders at Hurricanes, Game 2 of Eastern 1st Round

Jean-Gabriel Pageau is expected to return to the lineup for the New York Islanders in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena on Monday. The Islanders center took part in the morning skate and if he has no setbacks before the game, he should play, coach Patrick Roy said. Pageau missed Game 1 with a lower-body injury. Pageau will center the third line with Anders Lee and Pierre Engvall in place of Hudson Fasching, who played 14:18 in Game 1, a 3-1 loss Saturday.
