His injury could open the door for someone like Grigori Denisenko to make the Panthers out of training camp.
Pageau has missed the last three games while in COVID-19 protocol but will replace Otto Koivula in the Islanders lineup on Tuesday. Prior to landing in COVID-19 protocol, Pageau had 11 points (6G / 5A) in his previous 15 games.
