Status Report
Beauvillier and Palmieri took part in the morning skate and each will be game-time decision. Palmieri (upper body) has not played since the Islanders' 3-2 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Nov. 21 and would need to be activated from injured reserve. … If Palmieri plays, Holmstrom, a forward, is expected to be reassigned to Bridgeport of the American Hockey League. … Beauvillier missed a 3-0 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday because of an upper-body injury. … Krejci participated in the morning skate but the forward will miss his second straight game.
