Isles Day to Day: Training Camp Opens

The New York Islanders kicked off training camp on Thursday, taking the ice for the first day of formal practices.

There are 38 forwards, 21 defensemen and seven goaltenders at this year’s camp and will skate in three groups daily at Northwell Health Ice Center to start camp. Stay tuned to NewYorkIslanders.com for the latest stories, photos and videos from this year’s camp.

Goaltenders: Ken Appleby, Semyon Varlamov

NOTES:

Alexander Romanov participated in the first day of Islanders training camp. There was some question as to whether or not the defenseman, who was recovering from an upper-body injury over the summer, but the 23-year-old was present and accounted for on day one.

NOTES:

Kyle Palmieri did not skate with either of the first two groups on the first day of training camp. He has been skating on his own and Head Coach Lane Lambert did not have an update on when he'd rejoin the group. Oliver Wahlstrom practiced with the team for the first time since suffering a season-ending lower-body injury on Dec. 27 of last season.
